Kate & Will Jacobson's twenty year collaboration has given them fire, laughter, wonder and joy. Through their work they attempt to create a harmonious substance of form, line, and color. These explorations lead them to explore the world with their hearts as well as their minds. Their approach to making art is much more intuitive than pragmatic. When working, they allow the fate of the clay to reveal itself and then they embrace the experience. It's almost an involuntary response where they are simultaneously the guide and the seeker.

Their Technique - Naked Raku:
Kate & Will's technique is called Naked Raku. They call it naked because they expose the unadorned, earthly beauty of the clay. They celebrate such natural grace by allowing it to speak with its own voice. They call it raku because they fire in the tradition of Japanese potters. Naked Raku succeeds tradition by using a slip/glaze combination as a resist to the clay.
Will is extraordinarily talented at throwing clay on the wheel. His forms speak of a graceful elegance which is timeless. Kate does the hand building of the vessel lids and most of the etching and painting. The language of clay transcends time and place; history and culture are communicated through the potters' hands and preserved forever.
