Keith Bailey Pottery

Keith Bailey's fascination with wheel-turned pottery began at age five, though he only touched clay sixty years later. His work aims to look "un-modern" in a contemporary way, pushing the boundaries of technique and expression. Through surface design and serendipity, he creates pieces with a contemporary aesthetic that evoke an ancient connection.

Working with clay, especially Raku, is about balancing chaos and control. His Raku pieces explore imperfection, with the firing process creating crackle and iridescent hues that embody impermanence. Bailey's art evolves with each piece, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty in imperfection.
