Robert Shay is best known for slip cast whiteware vessel forms as well as sculptures and platters. Shay multi-fires work in a gas kiln, using different materials such as batteries, rock salt and unusual items in the first firing to promote scarring. The pieces are then either clear glazed or decorated with china paint and luster then oxidation fired.
A shift in Shay?s style in 2010 introduced large ceramic platters conveying a sense of landscape, as well as sculptures glazed and painted to resemble wood or bone rather than clay.
