About me, Thomas Albert Kilian lll ......
I Welcome you to come into my world of clay.
I'm Thomas Albert Kilian lll , I had started pottery when I was eight years old. I'm Sixteen now and I'm still pouring my life in clay! Over the years I have won many awards for my creative and useful pieces of pottery. I have made these pots in my studio , that my father and i had built together , in the Eastern part of North Carolina. I have made my work different , because I think it is important to live your life in your own way! My goal in life is to be the first potter that dose not go to " SeaGrove" ( a county which all potters in N.C. go to) but makes the lives of others a little brighter in Columbia, (Columbia is where i reside in ) So, I Welcome you in my world of clay ...................ENjOy !  click to shop |
What is Pottery?
The term "Pottery" is used to describe the result of working clay into a usable vessel.
In certain artistic circles it also refers to work that may be less than functional and in the future, any artistic expression of clay will more than likely be called "Pottery". It wasn't always this way, in the past "Pottery" was a term reserved specifically for " a place where pots are made" ( like "Factory", "Bakery" )- in a broader sense included cups, saucers, plates and other various encooterments that made life, well... livable. ("Cuppery" never did flow off the tounge! ) The person that fashioned the clay was and is still called the "Potter". |
