Richard RowlandI first met Richard at a mold making demo he did at Portland Community College. His molds were archaic and crazy and he was casting things that floated up from the ocean and dead dog heads. He was the fist potter I met where ideas came first and craft second. Whatever technique one needed to use to get the idea out there then use it. His objects were not perfect but were full of life and emotion. He invited me to fire with him at his Astoria Anagama Dragon kiln where I was introduced to a large band of people who gave clay the magical honor that it deserves.
