Lloyd Hamovit
Lloyd Hamovit is a New England clay artist whose work combines the
tradition of the potter's wheel with sculptural altering techniques.
After 20 years as a high school ceramics teacher, Lloyd Hamovit founded
the Two Rivers Ceramics Studio in Amesbury, MA. Lloyd produces ceramic
work in two styles. His porcelain pieces are whimsical and often
imitate the human form in a sculptural manner. His figurative work
involves throwing and altering porcelain pieces. The more functional
stoneware pieces are also designed to convey humor, joy, and harmony.

Larry Elardo
Larry
Elardo jumped back into making ceramics 4 years ago after a 30+ year
layoff. His work is mostly hand built and fellow potters often
refer to him as "the texture guy." Larry loves the infinite
possibilities of clay. "The functional clay objects I build investigate
the integration of form and surface. I’m always on the look out for
objects both man-made and natural that will create great surfaces." To
see Larry's work, please visit M Street Potters.
