MARK CHATTERLEY
Award-winning sculptor, Mark Chatterley, creates ceramic animals that directly engage the viewer on an almost human level. Ranging in height from six inches to twelve feet, each piece is unique and hand-built. Chatterley’s signature crater glaze allows him to create a variety of surfaces ranging from shiny metallics to crusty, lava-like textures resembling rusted metal or weathered stone. The sculptures are fired in a walk-in kiln that allows him to work on a larger-than-life scale. They are high-fired to give them the durability to be displayed outdoors year-round.
A Michigan native, Chatterley earned a BFA and an MFA from Michigan State University. He has exhibited nationally and internationally receiving numerous awards.
