Michael Kline
Michael Kline moved to North Carolina in 1998 after being awarded a competitive position as artist in residence at the Penland School of Crafts. While being a self motivated and focused resident at Penland, Michael worked on a body of larger scale stoneware pottery inspired by the traditional stoneware of the Catawba Valley and Seagrove areas of North Carolina. Michael’s inspired traditional forms are graced with his elegant floral brushwork giving a botanical theme to his wood-fired pottery jugs and jar forms. Sometimes his pots are covered with a honey amber color glaze that is as appetizing as maple syrup. His black floral intertwining vine patterns inlayed on a tactilely textured slip and glaze, is a decoration uniquely his own.
Just as the energy of the clay spinning on his wheel, Michael energetically spins a web through cyberspace, keeping up with all of the latest technology that is available to artists while maintaining a full time studio life with his wife and two children in the mountains. Michael shares his personal journey of the day-to-day life of being a full time studio potter through his well-known “Sawdust and Dirt” clay blog. In the summer/fall 2008 issue of the Studio Potter magazine there is an article Michael wrote about his blogging experiences. Michael’s blog was most recently featured in the winter 2011 issue of Clay Times in the article Blogging Potters Everywhere. You can get to know Michael and share his experiences by following him on his blog, facebook, and twitter, or watch him on his You Tube channel sharing some of his studio techniques.
