Jury - 2023 CHESTER COUNTY STUDIO TOUR

About the Artist: George Watson, a native to the Delaware Valley, discovered early in his childhood his passion for the arts. Growing up in the 60’s, I was inspired by many artists such as Degas, Monet, Laurtrec and Picasso. In 2012 George Watson Pottery was born, which specializes in stoneware and Raku. Specifically, the Raku firing technique and the reduction cause the pots to develop vivid colors and copper sheens. Oxygen deprivation (reduction) and drastic temperature changes determine the rich hues. As a result, no two items are exactly alike. This is what defines George Watson Pottery.
