Craftsman Dave Hough handcrafts his beautiful and functional pottery in the Oregon mountains where he is accessible only by a narrow road that ends at his studio, thus the name Roads End Pottery.
Dave states, "From thought (idea) to reality (form) is what throwing is about for me. There is no other material that allows me direct contact and immediate response into subtle form variations. As I am working on a particular shape, I am always balancing the ideal form and it's intended function. The tension between the two has led my interest more than any other step in the process. I love to throw and seek out the perfect balance between form and function that manifests itself in every piece I create."
All of Dave pieces undergo a fifteen step process before completion. All works are fired to 2400 degrees in a reduction atmosphere propane kiln. This type of firing gives Roads End Pottery unique glaze variations. All glazes are lead free, dishwasher and microwave safe
