Full Victory Pottery-Matt Long

This is a soda-fired whiskey jug by Matt Long. On his website he talks about how his passion for clay lies within functional pottery. He focuses on all kinds of functional ware, but mostly on many different kinds of liquor bottles. From Whiskey Hip Flasks to Bourbon Bottles to Sake Sets, he does it all. His style is quite dirty and organic and yet at the same time his bottles certainly serve their purpose. I am definitely going to be looking at his work for inspiration this year. Matt Long teaches in the art department at the University of Mississippi.
