HI THERE! David Bromley here. I came to Lillstreet in January 2002. I had moved back to Chicago and needed a studio area to work. I had been at Santa Fe Clay in New Mexico and had a private studio as well. I mostly focus on everyday functional work but also some semi sculptural functional work. Most of the time I sketch then let the wheel and the clay edit my thoughts. Principal inspirations are Shoji Hamada, Bernard Leach, Warren McKenzie, Clary Illian, Lucie Rie, and Hans Coper. I also am very interested in glaze chemistry. I did some water color and am a gardener. My duties as monitor include firing the kiln, assisting the glaze makers, making stains, and answering and helping students with questions in the studio. Make and keep a notebook when glazing. I get the constant "what glaze was is? I forgot." My best answer to how a glaze will work is "make a small trial piece and see how it works." If you need anything else, please email me (davidbbromley@comcast.net) anytime. It may take a while but I will get back to you. Thanks for your work
