With any luck, come the New Year we will be moved out of the Hungerford Building and into our new place. It will be a tight, tidy, much smaller space than we have been used to occupying, but that will be a welcome change and a challenge. We'll continue to update with pictures and news as the timing gets closer, but meanwhile we are still in our Hungerford studio and the showroom is open.
As there are no plans to move or build a gas kiln in the new space, what I produce between now and the move will be the last of my pieces available using reduction firing. So, 45 years of gas firing and reduction glazes will be morphing into an electric look. Time to shop, folks! My Etsy shop is filled, as is Carolyn's.

About Richard
Report
I am a full-time potter working in an urban studio in Rochester, NY. I produce single-fired, wood ash glazed functional stoneware, selling out of my showroom, at art fairs and at galleries all around the country. I learned my craft in a community studio in Cincinnati, Ohio, rather than in an academic institution, as is common today.

Through the use of local materials and single-fire techniques, New York potter Richard Aerni has developed a singular style incorporating slip trailing under ash glazes. Aerni started handling clay in 1974, but worked in both an organic restaurant and the post office before making the transition to full-time studio potter in 1979.

Why do we spend the time, money, energy, and brain cells to attend ceramic conferences? Take the registration fees, travel and lodging expenses, and "recreational costs, " pool them together to buy some new ceramic releases in both print and video, and you will have a mighty impressive little library there.

Report
My decision to single fire came about as a result of both personal preference and sheer necessity. The many large pieces produced at Spring Street Pottery in Cincinnati (while working with Mike Frasca and Allan Nairn) would have required significant additional time and money if bisqued. Therefore, the decision was made to single fire as many pieces as possible.
