About Gary Steinborn, in his own words:
“I had my first studio over thirty years ago on the front porch of my family’s California bungalow home. Working there on a homemade potter’s wheel and sculpting clay by hand when I was a teenager started the journey that led me to a Masters Degree in Art from UCLA.”

“Growing up in Los Angeles I was exposed multi-cultural influences and all kinds of art. In my work I try to synthesize influences ranging from the heritage of the American crafts movement to funk and pop art. All the pieces I offer at Venice Clay are my original designs. My goal is to produce ceramics that is immaculately crafted, intelligent and humorous – suitable for anything from a modernist to craftsman style homes or personal Zen retreat.”

The Venice Clay Web Site features Venice Clay figurines and Bella Vase ceramics and allows collectors and distributors of Gary Steinborn’s artwork to view the entire collection of items and colors available for purchase.
