STEPHEN SCHELL CERAMICS
A collection of hand-built, textural ceramic tableware and wall sculptures.
Our ceramics collection is crafted start to finish in our Fir Island, Washington studio, by artist Steve Schell.
Steve studied art at several schools and finished his Fine Arts studies at University of Washington. Working with clay was Steve's first love. His desire to build and create ceramics was buried for decades under a traditional commercial arts career and, along side his wife, raising his four children on their small farm, just north of Seattle. Now, more than 50 years later, he has embraced clay again.
Steve prefers forgoing traditional tools of the trade. He is a purist - using only his hands to form shapes and mostly found object from nature and salvaged items; an opened seed pod, a piece of fabric, a discarded metal scrap, to form impressions in the clay and to create beautiful textures. He breathes new life into raw earth clay and creates timeless one of a kind, dimensional sculptures made for your table and home.
