Darin Galyer
For me, pottery is about the joy of creating. I enjoy the functional ware I use on a daily basis at home like my bowls and mugs, while I also love my more decorative pieces like flowers, bottle stoppers, and figurative vases. I do not seek to perfect any given form or technique; rather I thrive in the chaos of exploring my creative limits. Hopefully, I can help you find joy in pottery too.
