About the Creator
Simon Levin
Gresham, WI
In 1993 I fell in love with the movement of flame through a wood-kiln. Its sensuous quality is something I seek to capture in my work with soft forms, sensuous full curves and flame paths etched into the surface. This quest led me to an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa. I now own Mill Creek Pottery in Wisconsin, where my apprentices and I work to advance the cause of wood-fired pottery. in 2013 I traveled as a Fulbright Scholar in Taiwan exploring the potential of local materials.
