ARTIST & MEMBER PROFILE
Nolan Blansit
My relationship with clay began eight years ago. I took a throwing class with Tea Dhuorg. In short order I bought a wheel, a kiln, a slabroller and any other tools I thought I needed.
Even though I was an Art Major in college I had never found a medium so appealing as clay.

I throw on the potters wheel and I handbuild. Some pieces have elements of both methods. I make mostly functional pieces though some are so exaggerated they will only be used decoratively.

Early on I got into glaze development and through the years I have fired several thousand test tiles. The glazes I use are all from these tests and help to given my work a unique look.

As a studio member at Clay Space I have made friendships with other potters. We seem to inspire each other. I have also taken a couple of classes at Clay Space. There is always something to learn from other potters!
