Frank Gosar
My first experience with ceramics involved rolling marbles from the red clay sub-soil of our Wisconsin farm when I was
about five years old. Attempts to bake them in the wood stove were not notably successful.
I received a BA in Art and Mathematics from Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin, an MFA-Ceramics from the University of Oregon in Eugene. I taught pottery and sculpture at the UO Craft Center for 14 years, and spent three years throwing production pottery on contract for another studio until I couldn't stand to see another spoon rest, ever.
My wife Denise and I started Off-Center Ceramics in 1993, selling our own work at the Eugene Saturday Market. In the 24 years since, we've developed a wide range of functional stoneware for kitchen and table, hand-painted with over eighty different animals and birds.
All of our pottery is lead-free, and oven, dishwasher and microwave-safe.
