Wacky people make wonky pots

Beatrice Wood
George Ohr
Peter Voulkos


These potters are all very famous for their crazy personalities and their wonky, full of life and character pots.  There seems to be a fearlessness, sense of freedom and play.  They are obviously not afraid to try new things and not hung up on straight lines or overly clean edges.  Fresh and humble they capture the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic.
