Logan Wannamaker grew up in Durango, Colorado, and moved to Taos, New Mexico in 2006. He has been working in clay for the past 16 years. The majority of his work is fired in wood and soda kilns. Many of the clays, inclusions, and pigments are locally sourced. Logan has solar panels on the roof of his studio that supplies electricity to for his soda kiln.
He is inspired by the subtle tones and formations of the natural world and gathers these elements into a three-dimensional pieces. This way, someone can enjoy the natural landscape from inside a building, just as they would through a window or outside.
The majority of Logan’s work is displayed at his gallery located on the the road to the ski valley in Taos, New Mexico. You can see his work in a variety of hotels, galleries, and boutiques throughout the United States.
Logan Wannamaker
Artist Process
The high mountain desert of New Mexico inspires Logan’s color palette, forms, and structure of his vessels. He incorporates native materials when he can. Instead of typical glazes, he fires with wood, salt, and soda to mark the work in a more natural aesthetic. Logan believes less is more and consistently tries to showcase the inherent beauty of the final piece that is based on composition, weight, and balance.
“When someone looks at my work, I want them to make direct relationships to the formations of the land and tones of the sky and metallic rocks lying just outside their front door." Logan Wannamaker
