Recent Acquisition - Scott Parady Ceramic Pottery

A Tea bowl and Ewer by Scott Parady

Purchased from Trax Gallery - Berkeley

Scott Parady is a functional cermacist highly respected for his ability to work from a range of small vessels to extremely large vessels. His work exudes a zen like quality of purity. His pots are chunky with earth materials such as shells, rocks, sand, and stones derived from the earths naturally occuring clay beds. His pieces represent him by appearing simple, yet in fact, they quietly reveal their depth. New treasures continue to appear as you own the piece. He built his Pope Valley anagama kiln, where he wood fires not only his own work but other artists as well. He is currrently a professor of ceramics at Sacramento State University. He recieved a B.A. from Kansas City Art Institute, Kansas City, Missouri. He recieved his M.A. from Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania. He has had many exhibitions from 1993-2005, and is continously progressing as an artist.
