Handmade pottery by Ray Morales
My intention is to create pottery that’s unique, inviting and elegant. I strive to communicate this passion and appreciation and to share in the celebration of our daily lives.
Making pottery brings me a satisfaction that I don’t find in any other art form. For me, there’s a special transformation in taking this raw material and making it into something that can enhance the simple routine of drinking a cup of coffee or tea.
My journey began during my freshman year of college when, out of curiosity, I took a ceramics class. Little did I know that I would be instantly hooked. I had intended to major in business but that soon changed to art, a decision that I’ve never regretted.
After graduating with a BFA from the University of Central Florida, I went to the University of Miami where I earned an MFA in ceramics. The experience ignited a desire for sharing my passion as a studio potter and as a college professor.
I hope to you will enjoy using my pottery as much as I enjoy making it.
