About Tim

Tim Le is a ceramic artist based in Seattle. He is the artist resident at The Clay Corner, teaches wheel throwing at South End Ceramics, and serves as member-at-large at Washington Clay Arts.

His work is functional first — bowls, mugs, and serving pieces meant to be used every day — thrown on the wheel and finished with glazes he mixes and tests himself, from soft dusty rose to copper washes and wood-fired surfaces.

He also teaches an intermediate wheel throwing class, covering throwing off the hump, tool sharpening, surface decoration, and oxide washes.
