Larry Pennington owns and operates Claytime pottery Studio and gallery. He has been working with clay since college, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in fine arts. In 2005 he opened a pottery gallery/studio in Argenta of NLR and began teaching wheelthrowing and handbuilding. Although he teaches and occasionally works with high fired traditionally glazed pottery, Raku firing is his primary medium and the technique he finds most satisfying. "I especially enjoy the textures and earthy colors associated with raku pottery and the contrast between these colors and the black clay that the smoking of the piece produces. Raku pottery has a primitive quality that seems to make each piece more interesting and artistic than the more common and more functional high fired objects. .
