Welcome to John Spiteri Pottery
Soda fired white stoneware jar - 10'
I'm a studio potter working in clay full time in Lisle, Illinois. My work is almost exclusively functional. My forms relate to the preparation and serving of food and to the display of flowers to decorate the home and dinner table. My concern is both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the work. I work using an electric kiln, a gas fired reduction kiln, and a soda kiln. My clays are almost exclusively white stoneware and porcelain.
In addition to making pots, I'm involved in teaching pottery, with an emphasis on wheel work. The classroom serves as a means not only to introduce students to wheel thrown functional pottery, but as a venue for dialog, a means to help me understand what I think about my work.
My work is available for sale on-line at BlueParrotPots on Etsy.
