Tom Decker learned early on the value in expressing a unique point of view. A Berkeley, Califonia native, he experienced the Free Speech Movement, public school desegregation, and anti-war protests. Tom took to clay naturally and started making art in the legacy of a revolutionary spirit.

For the past twenty five years he has been devoted to expression in the visual arts, becoming internationally recognized in ceramics. Today his artwork encompasses an eclectic range of materials and processes from figurative sculpture, to raku teabowls and soda fired stoneware.
