Rodney Wuetherick

Rodney Wuetherick has been throwing and building pots for over two decades. He studied with Alberta artist Tony Bloom, then ran a group artist studio and small gallery in East Vancouver before coming to Saskatchewan. Rod's work comprises everything from fully functional ware like plates and mugs (dishwasher safe and in food-safe glazes), to one-off sculptural vases and hand-built pieces. He works mainly in porcelain and gas-fires his work with glazes he has developed himself. His aesthetic is inspired by the glazes in use for many centuries and the wabi-sabi (Japanese term for the beauty of imperfections) found in traditional Asian ceramics.
