Dick has been a potter in the Alfred area since the 1970s. His forms and glazes are timeless. Some of his work is very artistic, while most is functional pottery. For a long time his work was electric fired porcelain. He recently built a gas kiln, and is getting great glazes on stoneware in it. His web site highlights the porcelain work.
You can find Dick at 5206 Kenyon Road, Alfred Station, NY 14803. His phone number is (607) 587-8157.
Dick’s work is displayed in several galleries, and he has open houses in his studio as well. Here are some photos I took on a recent visit.

Hi there. I was an Alfred nursing student, way back in the ‘70’s (class of ‘77) and purchased a couple of pieces of pottery from you way back then. Still some of my favorites, though I have found other pieces here and there. I’m kind of a handmade stoneware junkie. I just did a search to see if you were still there, still making pottery, and it looks as though you may be, which makes me happy. Do you ship pieces, if I wanted to order something new? I love giving stoneware pottery as wedding gifts, and for other occasions. I have moved around the country and now live outside of Nashville, TN. In any case, hope you are well. Wanted you to know that your pottery has been making my home more lovely for > 40 years!
