Meet Michael Metz
Michael Metz is a Northwest native whose work had been showing in galleries throughout the Pacific Northwest for more than 35 years. Mike received his bachelors degree in art at Lewis and Clark College and lives in Vancouver, Washington.
This recent work of Michael Metz celebrates the organic expression of crystalline glazes on elegant ceramic forms. The result is a beautiful blend of classic and contemporary in a sculpture that illuminates its surroundings. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind due to the unpredictable nature of the glazes as they explode on the surface at different stages of the firing atmosphere.
Jars, Vases, Urns
Mike's ceramics are both functional and sculptural. While his shapes are often simple, his glazes are complex. Crystalline and metallic glazes often cover his fine art ceramics, while carved patterns decorate his functional work.
The surface of Mike's clay work is his real love. Thick, rich, colorful glazes are his signature finish.
