Jim Young has been a potter for 38 years.
He is a member of the Arkansas Craft
Guild and teaches pottery at his studio in
Rogers.

Jim's functional high-fire stoneware pottery
is brilliantly decorated with multiple
layering of handcrafted glazes that melt
and blend together in temperatures that
will melt steel (2400°F).

"It's all in the details," says Jim. "I
airbrush the glazes to produce subtle
variations resembling the work of Nature.
In fact I believe that Creation and creating
are closely intertwined. My purpose in life,
I feel, is to take in my surroundings and to
express them through my work. The
Ozarks offer a wonder palette of intricate
details for my pottery. For more
