Chris Gustin

Chris Gustinbegan his studio work making functional domestic ware. He is most well-known for his thrown or coil-built and altered pots that reference the functional vessel. The functional forms become the jumping off place for his abstract forms. Scale is important to Gustin?s work ranging from tea bowls to large architectural vessel sculptures.

Beginning in 1995 his work was fired in a wood-fueled Anagama kiln.

He began his career working in his family?s commercial ceramic factory, an experience that was instrumental in his decision to become a studio potter.

In 1986 Gustin was a co-founder of Watershed Center for the Arts, North Edgecombe, Maine.
