James (Jim) Melchert | 1930 – Present

Nell Hazinski is known for wheel-thrown porcelain and stoneware functional pottery. Signature forms include sauerkraut bowls, ikebana vessels and a variety of functional wares including dinner services, serving pieces, and kitchen wares.

Surface techniques feature floral and line motifs in earth-tone, blue-and-white underglaze, and nerikomi (a Japanese technique in which ?Slabs of different clays or clays colored with stains or oxides, are stacked, folded, pressed into logs, sliced, and arranged to form a vessel.?1Or in Hazinski's practice inlaid into a vessel surface. Hazinski uses shino, high gloss clear, and celadon glazes. Works are most often high fired in either a wood or a gas kiln.
