Anthony N. Biancoviso specializes in creating distinctive sculptural and functional works of ceramic art that are sensual in form, visually arresting, and highly tactile.
Each piece is wheel-thrown, placed in a small wood burning kiln, then smoke fired to a low temperature — an ancient technique that accentuates the soft, open, and natural qualities of earthenware clay. Pots that are shiny, very smooth, and very pleasurable to touch have been brushed with multiple layers of fine clay slip (Terra Sigillata), and then hand-burnished, a process used by Southwestern Native American potters. The unique abstract designs and interesting color combinations that appear on some pots is created by placing minerals and organic materials around the pieces in the kiln. The earth, water, air and fire determine the stunning unique and unpredictable results.
Studio located on a charming old farm property, one mile from the scenic Delaware River.
