Robert Hughes joined the membership of Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery this year. His huge platters and vases are artfully unique.
Kiote Clay Pottery is what Robert calls his Clay Art Business.
Robert Hughes was born in Southern California and was first interested in ceramics as an art form in high school. He continued his education in college where he studied commercial art design, sculpture, ceramics, photography and jewelry.
After college Robert worked in several ceramic
studios throwing production pottery.
In 1991 Robert moved to Bullhead City, AZ and created Kiote Clay Pottery to explore ceramics as an art form. In 2003, he moved to Prescott, AZ where he lives on 6 acres with cats, dogs, and chickens. Aside from working in his studio, he enjoys gardening, hiking, boating and playing music with friends.
Today he creates both functional and decorative art pieces. You can see his work at various juried art shows and galleries across the southwest. Locally, he is a member of Arts Prescott, a cooperative gallery, 134 South Montezuma Street in Prescott, Arizona.
Robert writes, “ I design all of my own glazes and use a variety of decorating techniques that I have learned over the years. These include overglaze decoration, matte glazing, sgraffito, wax resist, carving and incising. I also work with sagger fired pieces.”
