Paul Chaleff has been exhibiting his ceramics since 1966. He is known for his colossal pottery forms. He is one of the pioneers of wood firing in America. Paul has been working with large-scale clay sculpture and large clay slab tablets for the past fifteen years.
“For forty-five years I have been creating volumetric objects. Thousands of pots, hundreds of sculptures, crates, support systems, kilns made of thousands of brick, stone, and piles of wood for firings…my forms have been laden with weight and mass.”
