RON DONIS
DOCTOR D'S CERAMICS
|
|
Retired from the practice of medicine, Dr. Donis has taken to relaxing at a pottery wheel. He's caught the fever and has been infatuated with the craft, enjoyably spending an inordinate amount of time working out of the City of Orlando Pottery Studio.
He's learned that it isn't easy to throw a perfect pot and he's always hoping to produce something that's aesthetic with an enticing glaze. He controls what he can, but what comes out of the kiln is often a surprise. The unexpected is what's so intriguing about the process. The pieces aren't manufactured and they are rarely flawless. But, although he's critical of some of the work, there are pieces that he is fond of and, if he had the space, that he would probably like to jealously hoard. All the ceramics are food safe. They are high-fired in the gas kiln to cone 10 (more than 2300º F) and are also oven and microwave safe. |
