Tom Abel is a ceramic artist and owner of Cracked Clay and the Cracked Clay Gallery. Cracked Clay is a place to find pottery with unique shapes and textures, interesting glazes and fine art pottery. Tom Abel of Cracked Clay likes textures and earthy forms in his ceramics. Tom prefers to keep the texture and/or the shape of the pot as the main focus while adding the shine (bright colors and glossy glazes) to the inside of the pot as a surprise to the viewer. The ceramic pottery Tom Abel makes are hi-fire (cone 10) stoneware, his ceramics for the most part are are waterproof and food safe... We hope you will find (and buy) something that you enjoy looking at or can use in some way in your life. The Cracked Clay Gallery Specializes in unique hi-fire stoneware pottery. Like most artists Tom loves to look at art and other artists work. He is always fascinated by the immense talent and diversity of art in the world around us... He hopes to add artists to the the gallery soon who share a passion for clay, fire and excellence of design.
