Glenn Woods

Working with a blend of porcelain and white stoneware, Glenn generally begins the creative process by making the forms on the potters' wheel and then alters and combines pieces. Glenn alters his forms by paddling, piercing, beading, and carving - the finished pieces generally have hints of nature: leaves, gourds, and flowers. The patterns created with the beading found on many of his pieces are influenced in part by his exposure to the Amish community as a child where he learned to crochet and appreciate the fine stitching patterns found in the Amish ​quilts.
