George Mai

For George Mai, making ceramic pots is great fun. He especially enjoys those that people are able to use. He has been a ceramicist for some time, often giving his artwork to friends and family. Many of the bowls and mugs he has gifted are still used today, often carefully repaired after the inevitable injury resulting from that very appreciation and incorporation into domestic life. For those shattered beyond repair, Mai borrows a phrase from the great Bernard Leach: “teach us to forgive, love well, and if need be, let go and simply pick up the pieces.”  And if need be, perhaps even make another one ourselves at Buffalo Arts Studio.
