Jeffrey Taylor has been honing his craft as a potter since 1998 in his character home/studio – a converted 1928 schoolhouse in Duval, Saskatchewan. He first encountered pottery in grade 12 at boarding school in Caronport. Later he studied in the fine arts program at Red Deer College in Alberta, and after settling in Saskatchewan he got involved with the Saskatchewan Craft Council, sitting on the board for a term.
Serving up dishes for everyday use, Newschool Pottery is well known for touchable textures, bold colours, and unusual patterns, resulting in unique functional art. While Jeffrey repeats uniform shapes and sizes, no two pieces are exactly alike. Unusual tools like gear wheels and syringes add unique imprints, splotches and strokes. He has worked especially hard at designing dripless teapots with secure lids that won’t tip out, an extra hole in the lid to hook a tea ball,and special handles for easier lifting. |
