I have developed my forms by the influence of human shapes and inspiration of the nature that surrounds me. Both function and form is deeply considered while choosing to fire my work in an atmospheric wood firing process. The firing method of wood kilns has captured my interest because of its ability to record the symbolic elements of the fire and clay relationship. A minimalist approach to the glazing process allows the ware to form a reflection of textured skin, a combination between humanity and the movement of the landscape.

Perry Haas has been working in ceramics since 2003. He grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago. Perry first started working with Doug Jeppesen at Waubonsee Community College. There he found wood firing and learned about the process. In 2004 Dan Murphy came to Waubonsee; During his workshop Perry discovered Utah State University's ceramic program and its wood fire history. As part of his experience in Utah Perry also studied in China at Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute for the fall 2007 Semester. Perry has also just recently visited South Korea and studied with Hun Chung Lee for the summer.
