Paul Ernest Cox | 1879 – Present

Craig A. Bird is known for thrown, hand built, and thrown-and-altered eartheware, stoneware, and porcelain functional pots. Surface techniques include painted, glazed and slipware ? the application of slip (a mixture of clay and water) at the leather hard stage.

Bird studied with William HenryKlock, WarrenMacKenzie and JeffOestriech all of whom greatly influenced his choice to make pottery rooted in function. In addition he studied in Japan with Kohyama Yasuhisa. Other influencers include the potters Michael Cardew and Kawai Kanjiro.
