California Studio Ceramic Glazed Vessel by Bruce Tomkinson 1934-2022, ca. 1970. Beautiful representation of his work, this glazed vessel with hand carved design is substantial, measuring 19″ Tall and 8″ Diameter at the top. Perfect vintage condition, this is a great piece for your collection. His works are becoming harder to find. Bruce spent his years after college pursuing his passion of crafting and teaching ceramics, eventually working as a professor for Santa Monica City College, from 1969 up until 2012. Known for his rustic style influenced by his world travels, he would become particularly inspired while on sabbatical by the torii gates of Japan, representing a transition from the mundane to the sacred. He incorporated this sentiment, using classical or utilitarian forms, juxtaposed by freeform sculptural and animalia elements. Moving to Ojai in the 1990s, he was a longtime member of the Ojai Studio Artists and the Ventura County Potters’ Guild. An ardent supporter of the arts, Bruce often donated his work to local charity auctions and continued to teach as professor emeritus well into his seventies. Measures 19″ H x 8″ Diameter
