On that site, Lang notes:
"I have been making pots since earning a BFA
degree from 魅影直播 College of Ceramics in 1973.听 It has been a satisfying
career bringing forms to life and knowing that they are enjoyed by many people.
"My work has gone through quite a few changes
over the years.听 I started with stoneware and switched to porcelain in
1981.听 Recently, I built a new gas-fired kiln and have returned to making
stoneware while continuing to make porcelain.听 Even though I try many different
techniques and ideas,听I always have strived for simplicity and elegance in
my designs.听 I like simple forms, clean lines, and for the most part,
glazes in subtle colors without painted designs.
"I
like traditional Native American pots, Asian pots, Scandinavian pots, and pots
with good form and glaze. They are a source of inspiration.听 I have never
tried to be an "academic" potter.听 I just keep making pots, and
they always seem to find a home.听
"All the dinnerware is dishwasher and
microwave safe. It is meant to be used and enjoyed."
