The Maker – Victor Granadoz Victor Granadoz is a Studio Potter from Wellington TX, he is currently working & studying in the Amarillo, Canyon TX Area. Working towards his B.F.A in Ceramics at West Texas A&M he works on taking the traditional production potter methods & altering them to fit a contemporary environment. While working towards his degree he works at Blue Sage Pottery in Amarillo as a Studio Assistant. Many of his inspirations come from the apprentices of Bernard Leach, Artists that have inspired his body of work are but not limited to Jeff Oestreich , Warren Mackenzie & Clary Illian Artist Statement – I hope to continue the tradition of many studio & production potters from the past. I hope to create pots that can be used in a person’s day to day life. Making artwork that is intended to be used & touched a piece of art that people will incorporate into their life. My work is inspired by English pottery & many of the working leech apprentices that have altered their production techniques to continually be successful in today’s art world. The beauty that a pot brings into someone’s household is like no other it interrupts miles & miles of plastic & production line dinnerware that people are accustom to today.
