Harlan House Porcelain, Ontario, Canada

Harlan House is a potter who loves playing with fire - he's been at it for over fourty years. His work is classic...porcelain fired with glazes that last forever because they are inspired by very old traditions.	Harlan House RCA

	Harlan is featured in a recently published book called Master Ceramists: Porcelain: 500 Figures, Vessels & Sculptures by 40 Leading Artists.

Harlan is also known to head for a paint brush now and then. In fact, Harlan has quietly been putting paint to canvas for longer than he has thrown. Harlan's recent 'Buffet' and 'Take-out' series are still life oil paintings of industrial junk food in local restaurants. These works leave many traditions behind. Harlan's paintings intensely observe the peculiar transformation of traditional Chinese food into unrecognizable 'dishes'. Have a look!
