Jeff Rottman, Artist Statement
Thank you for your interest in Dutch
My goal is to improve the quality of life for my family, community and customers by creating handmade pottery. All of the pottery I sell is made exclusively by me, giving each piece certain special attention. The simplicity of my glaze application and form is designed to enhance the item that is being served on it adding to the experience through the presentation. The inspirations of my collections come from my curiosity of unique serving dishes and cultural uses of ceramics as function in every day life. I feel my work parallels the serving styles of the current bistros, cafes, delicatessens and local restaurants.
