Robert Rossel

Rob Rossel is owner and teacher of Pine Tree Pottery and School and a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Rob has been teaching hand-building and wheel technique to adults, children, and individuals with disabilities for more than 15 years. He spent two years in southern Japan apprenticing with one of the country's top ceramic artists. He combines traditional education with a modern, impressionistic approach to the art of ceramics. Rob uses his skill and vision to orchestrate a group of individuals as they create a large-scale mural made from textured, multi-glazed tiles. The result is a permanent, community created work of art. Completed murals can be viewed in S. Hampton Elementary, The Bakie School in Kingston, NH, Sandown Elementary School, Northwood Middle School, Newmarket Elementary, Epping Elementary, and New Franklin Elementary in Portsmouth, NH.
