Alan Higinbotham

Striving for beautiful forms, whether it’s your favorite bowl, vase, teapot, cup, each piece of Alan Higinbotham’s wheel-thrown porcelain clay is unique. Studying under a master potter in Japan in the 1980s, Alan has been a professional potter for over 40 years in Oregon.

Alan created his own glaze chemistry for oxygen-starved (‘reduction’) kiln firings. By high-firing to 2350 degrees F, he is able to balance heat, time, and oxygen for vibrant Copper Reds and time-honored Celadon Green glazes, adding color and richness to functional pottery pieces we use daily.
