Stephen Dean is passionate about pottery. An avid
collector for many years, Dean began taking ceramics
classes in the 80's to learn the art of throwing pots
and has found himself knee-deep in clay ever since. He
experiments with a variety of glazes and shapes and
utilizes mainly gas kiln firing.
Dean’s rectangular platters are especially popular with
their textured surfaces and warm glazes. His ceramic
bowls are smooth with a fabulous heft. And a
Dean-crafted vase is a must for displaying anything from
simple cut flowers to fabulous bouquets. For the most
part, his pieces are dishwasher safe so you can always
make a case for practicality when purchasing Dean
ceramics. It’s practical…and alluring.
His policy is “Please touch” so don’t ever walk away
from a showing without putting your hands on his work!
