| Ron Meyers is equally committed to
the function of ceramics as to its use as a surface for
drawing. While traveling in Peru, he found that the ancient
Inca used pottery in a similar way— not just as
containers but as vehicles for stories about plants, animals,
birds and fish in their surroundings. As for mastery,
Meyers believes that one masters a technique and then
moves on to learn something else. |

Meyers feels more connected to the national community
of potters than to the local or regional arts scene. He
is inspired by his travels and research into pottery traditions
from around the world. He recently returned from a trip
to Peru, where he was fascinated to see how the Inca and
pre-Inca used ceramics as a way of recording every aspect
of their lives – animals, birds, plants, fish, and
people. He sees them as storytellers and feels that he
has the same goal, to use his pots as a way to tell stories.
