David Camerlo
Artists Statement


David Camerlo grew up in Fremont County and lives in a house he
and his family built from the rocks and clay of their land. Likewise his pottery
is a unique product of the area. Val Bosca Pottery uses the rich abundance
of native clays in the Southern Colorado Wet Mountain region. All raw materials
for the clay and glazes are the result of many hours of hard labor. The subtle
colors and flashings inherent in the limited material palette, and the less
controlled nature of the firing make these works of art truly "one of a kind".
Dave is the only potter west of the Mississippi who currently makes his product
with totally local clay and chemicals. Use them, enjoy them.
