Unique and Gorgeous Ceramicware

Growing Home plants or gardening is known to help maintain focus, relieve stress, boost creativity, and influence the air quality of your home. It is also a great pleasure to watch your plant grow because you provided it with all its optimum requirements for growth 

One way to ensure the survival of Home plants is to grow them inside the best pot and use the required potting medium. Generally, home plants grow better in ceramic pots. This is because ceramic pots absorb moisture better than plastic, rubbers, or metallic pots.

Purchasing ceramic potting requires you to buy a pot that can complement your home's interior décor. This is where Alex Beck`s ceramics come in! Alex Beck is an outstanding ceramic artist from San Francisco. He specializes in making various sizes and designs of planters, flower vases, mugs, and bowls. He makes beautiful ceramic artwork with carved surface texture against brightly shining colors.

“I like every piece that I make to look and feel one of a kind. As a result, I will rarely finish a mug, bowl, vase, or teapot without some type of texture or surface design element”. Alex Beck.

Alex Beck makes his ceramic artwork at two different studios in San Francisco – Ruby`s in the Castro and Brick & Mortar. Alex makes ceramic art with carved surface texture using high-quality fire glaze from Ruby`s in the Castro ceramic studio.

Alex fell in love with wheel-throwing ceramic art when in high school. He took ceramic art classes at Ruby`s in the Castro, where he gained professional knowledge and skills in making unique ceramic art. With the knowledge he has acquired, Alex has made many classy, gorgeous ceramic arts that are used for many purposes. After a couple of years of tirelessly learning various techniques and methods of creating ceramic art, Alex is serving as the teacher`s assistant at Ruby`s in the Castro studio.

He is constantly testing and experimenting with various colors, textures, designs, and functions to make ceramic pots that stand out. Even being a teacher`s assistant at Ruby`s in the Castro studio, Alex is continuously learning about pottery methods, techniques, and craftsmanship from experts in his field and communities

Some samples of Alex Beck ceramics can be found at Red Ranch Shoppers in Fortville. Alex Beck offers wholesale for people interested in re-selling his ceramic products in their shops. Purchasing ceramic artwork from Alex Beck's website is straightforward; he uses square for checkout, which accepts all major debit cards.
