Alan Willoughby

Alan Willoughby lives and makes pots in southern New Jersey where he shares a home, studio and wood kiln with his wife, Linda Shusterman. Alan enjoys creating work using a variety of clays, including a stoneware clay, porcelain, and a 'wild clay of South Jersey' which he prospects and prepares. His work is made on a potter's wheel and includes handbill and press molded additions. The work is decorated with terra sigillatas, slips and glazes and fired in a Noborigama wood kiln to 2380 degrees Fahrenheit. The work is food safe and may be washed in a dishwasher. His works and writings have appeared in CERAMICS MONTHLY, CERAMICS ART & PERCEPTION, CERAMICS TECHNICAL and STUDIO POTTER.
