Robert king

Duende Ceramics is an indigenous owned Galisteo, New Mexico based ceramics studio. The high desert terrain serves as both inspiration and supply chain for most of the work produced here by Robert King. Robert is a self-taught potter who continuously seeks new ways to express himself primarily utilizing the various natural resources found in the surrounding landscape. Respectfully collaborating with the wild clay, found rocks, minerals, sand and wood ash, as well as the intense environment of the kiln, he attempts to craft pottery that expresses the organic and natural environment where these materials have rested for millions of years. He describes his work as "a love letter to the high desert".
