For James May Gallery

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

About David  

David J. P. Hooker lives and works in the greater Chicago area, where he is an artist and Chair of the Art Department at Wheaton College. He received an M.F.A. in Ceramics from Kent State University and a B.A. in English from Furman University. 
 
His artistic practice explores the inherent value of materials, objects, and places, hoping to find ways to better connect and understand the world we live in. Recently he was awarded the Dunhuang Ceramic Residency and spent two months as artist in residence in Lanzhou, China. 
 
When David is not freaking out over deadlines, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Elaine, his children Abbey and Samuel, and the family cat, Evee. He also enjoys baseball, BBQ, and tennis—not necessarily in that order.
