Hello friends at James May Gallery:

Find below a selection of some of my recent work. Many of the individual pieces below are no longer available, but I just unloaded a kiln yesterday that was very mug and small bowl heavy so I have fresh pieces in stock. The pictures below give you a good sense of my style and glaze palette. 

In your post you mentioned mugs specifically, so I made this portfolio very mug heavy. I do make a lot of different forms that are not shown below. I am make larger sculptural work.  

For smaller items I tend towards more of a 60-40 split on sales, but move to a more standard 50-50 split as items get larger. 

You can find out more about me on this website at the About David or Pottery pages. A CV is attached at the bottom of this page, including a short version of recent highlights.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I live in the Chicago suburbs so I'm not too far away, and I'd love to work together.

Peace
David
