Christian Slater has been making pottery for about seven years. Born in New Hampton, NH, but spent about 6 years down south, mainly on the east coast of Florida. Started his journey in pottery junior year of high school, at Viera High School in Viera, Florida. After graduating in 2012 he joined Horse Creek Pottery, a pottery co-op in Melbourne Florida.

Living in a place of pure beauty with the big lake right at our feet and the great mountains as the backdrop. Most of his work being made on the potter’s wheel, he spends any chance to make new pieces or art. Some are also hand built or joined pieces. His work can be described at functional and decorative.
