Arts Prescott Gallery, a cooperative gallery, was founded in 1994 by a group of Prescott artists who believed in themselves and in the ability of a small town to showcase quality arts and crafts.

The gallery is still owned and operated by local artists, many of whom are the original founding artists.

The gallery offers original art in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Work is always fresh and exciting and a visit to the gallery often means meeting many of the artists themselves.

Make Arts Prescott Gallery your destination for one-of-a-kind gifts or treasures of a lifetime.

The gallery is conveniently located in the "Heart of Whiskey Row" in historic downtown Prescott, Arizona.
Purchases may be shipped from the gallery by UPS anywhere within the United States. All major credit cards are accepted.

Tom Alward
"Under the Ashes"
Wood-Fired Ceramics

After a few introductions to clay as a young adult, Tom Alward began to pursue ceramics on a serious level in 2002.  Studying and working at a community college propelled him to later enroll at Northern Arizona University (NAU) in 2005, to obtain a BFA in Ceramics. 

It was in Flagstaff and NAU that Tom learned about many new facets of ceramics.  He quickly became immersed in the exciting and challenging process of wood firing, which ended up revolutionizing his whole perception of the medium.  This new technique allowed him to see the beauty of imperfections, uncertainty, and natural splendor.  Pots could suddenly be transformed, naturally colored and glazed by flame patterns and the build up of melted ash.   It also made him take a deeper look at nature, to up close textures and surfaces, that eventually began to influence his style into a more loose and organic expression.  Being an Arizona native also exposed him to the dramatic and contrasting landscapes of the southwest, which played an obvious roll in his background and inspiration as an artist. 

Thus far, Tom has shown his work in numerous juried shows and solo exhibitions across the country, as well as in Australia.  Being back in Arizona now, Tom Alward aims to continue wood-fired ceramics in contemporary contexts, and anticipates the use of more indigenous clays to bring further meaning and location into our daily lives.  Ultimately, Tom says he is seeking ‘a sense of place’ in his latest work, to reaffirm a connection to natural landscapes and the places we live.
