Every piece of Prokos's work is an original, from versatile containers to abstract sculptures, designed to appeal to earthy and airy souls alike. This Spring's show features exciting new textures and glazes, including more examples of last year's popular shino glaze in pearlescent orange, blue and green. Also, there are new versions of Prokos's standards, such as tall smoked and glazed bottles, and clay baskets with grape-vine handles.
