Steve Irvine is a mostly self taught potter but spent three years as a ceramics major in a school of crafts and designs. Irvine has a pottery studio and mostly sells on a whole sale basis. He usually sells to shops and galleries in Ontario. He is also a member of a co-op which is a retail art outlet run by 45 artists in the region. I like his work because it is a mix of conventional and unconventional. While he has some pieces that a familiar in shape such as vases he also has abstract pieces. Some of these abstract pieces look as though they would have no function. I like this piece because it looks like a circle container that has been cut in half. It also has the interesting feature of the hole cut out that the circle knob goes into. This feature does not seem to have a purpose.
