Morris Clayworks Pottery and Plaques by Bob and Leslie

 


Leslie_and_Bob In 1968 Bob and Leslie Morris, Kristin's parents, moved to Springfield from New York City
when Bob began teaching at Wittenberg University. Bob always dabbled in art, and has done
numerous scientific illustrations for journal articles.
Leslie began taking pottery classes at the Springfield Museum of Art in 1972, fell in love with
clay, and has been a potter ever since. Currently she specializes in functional stoneware, as well
as windchimes. Bob creates stoneware clay plaques, and hand carves many of Leslie's candle
holders.
Bob, Leslie and Knistin have been exhibiting at art shows and in shops and galleries for many
years, both as a family and individually. Most of their creations are one-of-a-kind.

Plaques below range in size from 4.5 to 6.5 inches. They range in price from $8 to $15.

Hand-thrown pottery ranges from 4 - 10 inches tall. Prices range from $10 to $22.
