Dale Duncan first started working in clay in 1972 while attending Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. Shortly after graduation he set up a studio just outside of Kansas City in Kearney, Missouri. It's there that he first began to develop his textured style of pottery. In 1983 Dale and his wife, Kate, moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he continued studying and working in clay at Spirit Square and later at The Foundry Clay Studio.
Over the years, Dale's pottery has continued to evolve and expand. Today, the majority of his work is one-of-a-kind pieces, combining both hand and wheel thrown techniques. His "Textured Vessels" series explores contrasting surface textures based on design elements from both traditional and contemporary pottery shapes.
Recently, two of his works were published in Lark Publications book, "500 Teapots: Contemporary Explorations of a Timeless Design."
