Colby Charpentier makes both functional wheel-thrown stoneware vessels and sculptures which are high-fired in a wood kiln. His vessels are true to utility but, like those of Val Cushing, remain sculptural. Champentier?s sculptural work can reference monumental industrial machinery components or complex scale like stands for vessel forms. Charpentier studied ceramics and glass at Alfred University.
