Meet the Artist:

Bill Karaffa established Firemouth Pottery and Gallery in Boulder Junction in 1977. With my work I carry on a tradition of craftmanship, a commitment to strong form, technical innovation, and artistic vision that has been passed on from master to student. I feel ties to historical pottery from many cultures. Their influences have combined over the years. The results have led me to the development of some distinctive decorative techniques. These have allowed me to develop a recongnizable body of work which has been widely shown throughout the Upper Midwest and collected worldwide.
