LACHLAN GRANGER
2028 + History
As industries aim to make items in large quantities, they often are forced to cut corners in order to be able to mass produce whatever it is that they're making. In the case of something like pottery, you can truly feel the difference between manufactured & hand-thrown pieces, whether it be handles, textures, or designs. I’m a one-man shop focused on creating function-ware pottery with artistic liberty.
