Don and Joan Glasgow
Don Glasgow got his start in clay at the in 1964 University of Northern Colorado
when he was majoring in art at the University of Colorado. He was
requited to to take a ceramics. Once he got his hands dirty, there
was no turning back.
White attending College, they would have student art shows
and sales. After making a few and some money at pottery he realized
ther was future in selling pottery. Enough monery was made
at that time to purchase an air conditioner for car we had.
When I stated thowing on a kick wheel I realized Just maybe
I could do this.
In about 1972 Joan decided to give it a whirl. After all,
she said she had the best teacher around. Don said
she was the best student. he had.
Don and I were the first in the Denver area to use air brushing on their pottery. Up until that time we were using standard decorating. Don is a watercolor artist and one night I had a dream that we should be putting the same type of decorations on our pottery. Thus began a long journey to the design on our pottery appearing like a water color. A combination of air brushing and hand painting created a most unique looking piece of pottery. It was purchased by people around the world including famous persons. Searching online will bring up some early pieces of our work. Thanks to all that purchased our pottery during all the years.
