As a member of the Cleveland School, Conover (1907-1994), worked for 30 years as a commercial designer before turning to ceramics full time in the 1960s. During his lifetime, his hand built stoneware pots were exhibited in many museums, galleries and arts centers around the USA, some traveling internationally. Since his death, appreciation for his work has steadily grown. Each vessel is unique and was given a Mayan name, from Aaltan to Zopotec, taken from a book of 800 Mayan words that he utilized for this purpose. -
