Ken Turner
born 1956
“As far back as I can remember I have had a fascination with clay. As a child I loved its earthy smell, its cool wetness as I squeezed it through my fingers. I was amazed by its remarkable ability to take any shape I could give it as I spent countless hours carving faces and imaginative forms from the clay-laden cliffs of the ravines above Lake Sammamish.”
