Todd Louis Piker

Todd Piker apprenticed with Michael Cardew in 1970 where he also worked with Svend Bayer. In 1972 he established Cornwall Bridge Pottery where he and his assistants produce functional wood fired stoneware pots. Production includes bowls, platters, pitchers and mugs as well as flower pots, some of which can be very large. The influences on the work range from Cardew to Asian porcelain and French provincial stoneware.

The pots at Cornwall Bridge are made from a clay formulated there and often finished with glazes made from local materials. They are then fired in a 35 foot climbing kiln that is fired 6 times a year.
