"My pots are mostly variations or abstractions of shapes I see - mechanical, human or landscape. They are often about the horizontal plane." Although Blair Meerfeld works in groups of forms (teapots, pitchers, bowls), each piece retains its individuality and character. Repetition is not about production or multiplicity, but about sorting out a form. Meerfeld prefers to salt glaze his work. "Salt has a way of pulling the secrets out of the clay and slips, leaving them on the surface for your engagement. The kiln and I are collaborating to try to reproduce or expand on what we liked best or what seems most curious."
