Welcome to Bobs Pottery.com

My name is Bob and I'm based in Chino Hills, California. I love to make pottery, and I am especially inspired by the textures and shapes of nature. I'm particularly drawn to things that are often overlooked in everyday life, like leaves, pods, branches, and tropical plants. I particularly like to illustrate these elements in different stages of growth. My artwork is a combination of both aesthetics and science, as I enjoy being able to capture the beauty of natural forms and create something new. I'm constantly inspired by the vast array of shapes and textures hidden in natural elements. I like the viewer to visually move around my art to discover the intricate design.
