Stu Thompson: Clay and Paint

I'm a painter and potter. I taught at the junior-senior high school and university levels for 37 years, and enjoyed working with students. Now that I'm no longer in the classroom, I devote full time to creating imagery.

Painting

My painting tends toward the representational, with the primary subject matter being outdoor events. I will occasionally work on a social/political commentary piece, but this is infrequent. All work is in oil on either canvas or board.

Clay

My clay work runs the gamut from highly functional to sculptural to landscape paintings in glaze on low-fire pots. Originally working exclusively in stoneware, I now focus on low-fire ware.
