Michael Kline Michael Kline has been a studio potter since 1993. He studied pottery, painting and printmaking at the University of Tennessee and holds a BFA. He also studied under Michael Simon at the Penland School of Crafts and was later awarded a Resident Artist position at that school. At the end of his tenure, Michael designed a kiln to fire his new body of stoneware. This kiln fires exclusively with edgings and remainder wood from local saw mills. Although Michael's work has evolved over the years, he explains that the process still begins with the simple, ecstatic response to a ball of soft clay. Michael elaborates that "the mountains of North Carolina provide plenty of inspiration with their wildly exuberant flora, geological variety and the pottery history that sprang from these geological circumstances. Strong pottery form and patterns that evoke the complexity of this natural environment continue to guide my interests in this current body of work. By some combination of optimism and risk, my collaboration with the natural properties of clay and wood fire continues to lead me through this potter's life, at times exasperated and at other, exhilarated."
