Ray taught Andy the fundamentals in the American Folk Pottery tradition which emphasized personal skill, efficiency, consistency and the subtle details that help make pottery more ergonomic and durable. From 2003 - 2007, Andy formally studied ceramics at the Rochester Institute of Technology under Julia Galloway, Rich Hirsch and Liz Howe. Under these instructors Andy further developed his understanding of the timeless qualities hidden in historical ceramics and the meaningfullness of contemporary art works. In 2007, Andy started his own business as a solo artist and befriended a Ceramic Engineer named Phil Hamling. Phil taught Andy to be more scientific with his glazing and introduced him to Crystalline Glazes. Phil’s mentoring completed the foundation of Folk Art, Fine Art and Ceramic Engineering to make Andy into an artist whose knowledge and skills are as deep as they are wide. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boswell Studios (Andy Boswell)","offers":[{"title":"Phil's Blue","offer_id":44084940406964,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Crystalline Jade","offer_id":44084940439732,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Agate","offer_id":44084940505268,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Nickel Sorbet","offer_id":44084940538036,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cobalt Ocean","offer_id":44084940570804,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0311\/0859\/5757\/files\/Photoroom_006_20251111_124539.jpg?v=1762883246","url":"https:\/\/www.petersvalleygallery.org\/products\/crystalline-star-ornaments","provider":"Peters Valley Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
