"My pots have always been about
function. Because I intend my teapot to be
used, it can't dribble; the lids on my jars
must fit properly; a mug has to snuggle
nicely in the hand. After function comes
appearance. I draw inspiration from tidal
movements and the sea and even
man-made objects. My work references
the subtle differences between two
environments; the man-made and the
natural. I use the contrast between the soft
and luminous colors of nature and the at
times virulently harsh colors of our
cityscapes. The clay body itself showcases
nature's soft, growing, impermanent
structures while simultaneously illustrating
the harshness and longevity of man's stone
and metal constructions.
Nature's changing and fluid ways are very
apparent here in the Northwest, and living
with my wife Megan in Bellingham,
Washington on our sailboat affords me
inspiration every day. I want people to use
my pottery to have their every day lives
enriched in the same way, whether it is by
a favorite bowl or a handmade mug for
coffee each morning. I have been a
professional potter for ten years, but I
consider myself a craftsman first, and an
artist second. My goal is to make
affordable art that people can use to
enhance everyday living." ~ Jeremy Noet
