The presence of the woods, gardens and wildlife is inspirational. Working with clay gives me a physical and spiritual connection to the earth. Making pottery that functions in use and aesthetic beauty has been a life long pursuit. My father was a potter in Massachusetts and Ohio in the 70s. Being in the studio was a great joy of my childhood. The process of making clay to the unloading of kilns was fascinating.\" -Dave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSusan, who is an accomplished painter, does all the beautiful designs on the pottery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The quintessential thing about our work is the atmospheric effects of iron in oxygen reduction at high temperatures. We use many layers of oxides, which give the brushwork a painterly depth when the oxides melt into the glaze at the highest temperature in the kiln. The botanical imagery is painted in a gestural manner likened to impressionism, so that the feeling of light and color and movement comes alive on the surface.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButterfield pottery pieces are meant to be used and enjoyed every day.
