Skill, efficiency, and attention to subtle, ergonomic details shaped his foundation. From 2003 to 2007, he studied ceramics at the Rochester Institute of Technology, learning under Julia Galloway, Rich Hirsch, and Liz Howe. These professors deepened his appreciation for both the enduring beauty of historical ceramics and the expressive potential of contemporary art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Statement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eMy work is about exploring a specific type of beauty. Beauty where the process is as intricate, delicate and refined as the result. Beauty that captivates, inspires and brings joy to us as we unravel and understand its complexities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eCrystalline Glazed Porcelain has this type of beauty. The process is so difficult and requires so much work. There are so many delicate techniques I need to perform with extreme expertise. I need to have precise control over the science of the materials while my sense of aesthetics is constantly tested. This all builds up to the moment where I take my hands away, give up the controls, present my work to the kiln and let nature make the final marks. The crystals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eorganically grow on the surface and craft a level of detailed splendor that can’t be found anywhere else.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eIn this there are so many hidden harmonies between what we would consider opposites. I make the difficult look easy. I impose so much control but ultimately let go. What I make is man-made but also, nature made. The scientific and the artistic come together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eThese vessels hold so much more than coffee and tea. They hold a beauty that runs deep. That beauty is what my work is about.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgLayers_comp-lag907zo\" data-hook=\"bgLayers\" data-motion-part=\"BG_LAYER comp-lag907zo\" class=\"MW5IWV\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgMedia_comp-lag907zo\" data-motion-part=\"BG_MEDIA comp-lag907zo\" class=\"VgO9Yg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003e*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(69, 68, 65);\"\u003eAfter the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Teapot Show XIII","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49073116414204,"sku":"NTSXIII-242-1","price":454.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/8146\/2941\/files\/242-1AndrewBoswell-CrystallineGlazeTeapotpic1.jpg?v=1778106697","url":"https:\/\/cedarcreekgallery.com\/products\/andrew-boswell-crystalline-glaze-teapot","provider":"Cedar Creek Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
