Contemporary, Functional Ceramic Art Collection
Alec Karros
Alec Karros has been a utilitarian potter since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a Master of Fine Arts. In addition to his studio work, Alec has taught for more than a dozen years including The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, SUNY Oswego (New York), and the University of Colorado at Boulder. As his work focuses on functionality, he combines modernist design principles with traditional pottery techniques. Karros believes, "On a conceptual basis, whether we’re discussing pottery or sculpture, I’m against aestheticism. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against a beautiful object, but beauty must occur as a consequence of something greater. For instance, I believe that handmade utilitarian ware feeds a much needed experiential hunger."
