CHRIS COOLEY

Chris has been painting since college days when he was an art major at Utah State. During the last few years he has also focused more on his pottery experiences. While his first firings were accomplished in an electric kiln, during the last year he has fired hundreds of pots in home made raku kilns. In June 2009 he and potter colleagues -- Bill van Gilder, John Thies, and Richard Busch -- constructed a wood firing kiln and this has become the major method for his most recent firings. He works on his paintings in a home studio and has recently had a large studio constructed where he throws and glazes his pots. Shop
