    Biography

    Eric Abraham is known for hand-built porcelain vessels and wall-hung multi-layered porcelain forms. Across both bodies of work, Abraham sculpts stylized narratives with at least one miniature mythical animal, most frequently, a flying horse, pig, or fish.

    Subject matter is often autobiographical. Surface techniques include underglaze, oxide brushwork, and luster glazes. Abraham focuses on color and purchased ready-mixed glazes and a white porcelain clay body.

    In 1971 Abraham helped to start SummerVail Workshop for Art and Critical Studies along with Randy Milhoan, Jim Cotter, Dan Telleen.[1]
