Mark Issenberg is known for creating functional stoneware pottery including bonsai planters. Depending on the form, Issenberg?s work is created using thrown and altered, slab, or extruded methods.
Pieces created on the potter?s wheel often feature spiraled decorative handles. Vessel walls often feature an undulating surface created by the maker?s hand while still being shaped in the wet stage. Pieces created using slab and extruded methods often lean to one side and feature textures especially on pillar vases.
Issenberg?s work is fired to cone 10 (2,350 Fahrenheit). His knowledge of the use of ash glaze technology allows him to produce work with endless surface variation. Glazed surfaces often feature directional drips and mottled effects. The type of ash used yields unique surfaces from each firing ranging from rich earth tones to brilliant mottled blues.
