Peter Voulkos was an American artist who was well known for his abstract ceramic sculptures. He crossed the traditional divide between ceramic crafts and fine arts. An interesting fact about Peter is that he founded the UC Berkeley’s ceramics department. He has had a huge impact on the growing artistic field. I have chosen to share this particular vase that Peter made because it is very unique. It looks like a coil pot but may actually have been thrown on the wheel. I like how the colors/glaze is simple but gives it a lot of texture.
