Artist & Studio Information

 

Schatz Studio & Gallery is located on the Schatz property where Greg, wife, Katie, and family reside.  On these three acres of natural beauty in Brown County, Greg feels a strong connection to the natural world and a sense of his place in it.  This connection is evident in the spirit Greg’s work, as he uses natural materials and resources to create works that share qualities with nature.  Some of those qualities include variation, subtlety, asymmetry, and gesture. 

From his Studio, Greg creates functional pottery from stoneware and porcelain, which he then either fires for 24-35 hours in a wood-burning kiln or fires to cone 10 reduction in a gas kiln.  The finished pieces can be seen in the gallery, located in the same building as the studio.  A short leisurely stroll reveals the adjacent outdoor woodland gallery.  Garden related pottery, such as planters, bird feeders, birdbaths, and sculptures are found among the various plants and trees.
