Bob established Rippon Pottery Studio in 1979 and has found the process of pottery making to be a source of inspiration and a lifelong challenge. While completing his Bachelor of Science in Geology in 1974, Bob took his first pottery course and immediately realized that he had found a way to combine his interest in earth science with his creative side. Bob feels that form is pivotal and he strives to create pieces that have intrinsic beauty and life. He loves the challenge of working in partnership with earth and fire to create works that are often surprising as well as humbling. His current special interest in wood fired work reflects an enduring commitment to finding ways to express his appreciation of the power and magic of nature, using the medium of clay.
