Willi Michalski creates stoneware fired, one-off studio pieces. Special emphasis is given to the firing techniques and glaze finishes. Willi has researched gas reduction firing and glaze-on-glaze decoration over the past thirty years with resounding success. He has developed outstanding examples of traditional glazes as such as chun, celadon and copper reds, he also uses lustres in decoration techniques.

Willi has an understanding for the plastic nature of clay and often employs sculptural forms in his works.

The studio is situated at Church Point on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. Willi makes one-off studio pieces, his style is recognisable, particularly by his closed vessel forms and generous large platters.

Willi has taught part-time classes for the past thirty years and runs workshops specialising in wheel throwing and sculpturing techniques.
