Geoff Searle

The lustrous satin finish, rich tones of nature and exquisite symmetrical precision of Geoff Searle’s stoneware and porcelain pieces are standouts in the world of handcrafted artistry.  Searle attended the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson, B.C. Canada.  He has exhibited in select galleries throughout Canada since 1968 and is in demand as a workshop teacher on subjects of clay, glazes, kiln-building and pit-firing.  

Searle achieves a full range of colorful hues in pit-fired burnished vases by fuming metallic salts and organic materials.   His delicate handcrafted lids incorporate carved bamboo to reflect an exotic Oriental influence. Each is a one-of-a-kind object of art, which is reproducible for custom orders.
