Bob Race

Bob Race is a Studio Potter whose work is held in collections from New York to Melbourne. He dislikes talking about himself, preferring you to approach the work without previous knowledge of his background and thought process, trusting to your intelligence rather than art-hype.

During a recent, lengthly period of intensive experimentation, he has been shedding influences unconsciously ascquired from past teachers (no matter how eminent) and rediscovering the fundamentals of his own methodology and vison.
