Fred Fagan, artist, potter, teacher

	"My usual approach with clay is to playfully experiment with materials and processes. "
"Form fascinates me. I especially like trying to combine geometric and naturalistic shapes into a balanced meaningful order that transcends the ordinary. "
	"I seldom suceed, I have a full trash can!" "I like active surface treatments. However subtle a finish may be, it must "do something". "My terra cotta pieces are fired to cone one.At this temperature they have the hardness and durability of high fired stoneware or porcelain."
"I like to do raku because I enjoy playing alchemist by messing with esoteric chemicals. Besides, I get to play in the fire witrhout getting a spanking."
