Norvin Johnson learned to make pottery from Max Early. This jar is inspired by both contemporary and stylized flower patterns. The designs are painted in red clay on the white surface.  Norvin has been working on more experimental shapes and this jar has an angular body and a square shape.  The rim of the jar has triangular flower shapes which extend out from the opening.  The various angles of the jar and the round flowing designs work in complement to one another.  Norvin continues to create some unique and distinctive shapes for his pottery yet ties them back to the historic past.
