Andy Nasisse is known for vessel form pottery, figurative and landscape sculpture. At times, one or more of these are combined in a finished work. Nasisse often works in an improvisational manner. Finding gestault of figures and landscape imagery in wet clay as he works, Nasisse develops these images further by adding clay or carving as each piece moves through the greenware stage. His work typically features slips and low fire crackle glazes.
