Tyrone Larson began working with his wife Julie Larson in 1966. Tyrone, a self-taught potter did most of the wheel throwing, while Julie concentrated on glazing, and designing new pieces which referenced Italian pieces she had seen as she grew up in Italy. Work that was geometric and architectural often used slab construction techniques.
After 1986 their work was completely collaborative. They began to cast porcelain allowing them to further develop their interest in the architectural and geometric forms they had earlier created using slab construction techniques. Julie applied a thick coat of glaze directly to the unfired porcelain forms. (Source: Themarksproject.org) less
