Saul Alpert-Abrams makes original porcelain and stoneware ceramics in his home studio in the Parkridge neighborhood of Knoxville. Some of his pieces are thrown on the wheel, but the majority he builds using soft and hard slab techniques. He also designs work using CAD programs on the computer, which he then 3d prints and makes molds of before casting in porcelain. He concocts original glazes for his pieces and fires them with custom kiln schedules, dependent on the glaze. All his work is functional, and he designs the forms with function and beauty in mind.
