ick Schwartz has maintained his own business as a studio potter for the last 18 years.
His wares are wheel thrown of porcelain clay and gas/reduction fired to 2400 degrees Fahrenheit.

nspired by simple oriental shapes, Mick combines modern and traditional styles, creating a unique look that is all his own - beautiful, yet functional.
No commercially prepared glazes are used, as Mick carefully formulates and mixes his own with colorful and astounding results, including celedons and copper reds.
They contain no lead or other toxic materials.

This gives the technique a prestige sanctioned by the best work of the past.
