Leslie Mitchell figural pottery sculpture; abstract; depicting a woman with a baby attached to her back; rough in texture with earth tones throughout; stamped to back at bottom "Leslie Mitchell Dallas, Texas" and signed underneath; measures approximately 15-1/2" tall. Les Mitchell became fascinated with pottery when his family bought the historic Ideal Pottery Factory which was established in 1920. He studied basic pottery techniques at Booker T. Washington School of the Arts in Dallas. After graduation, Les developed his wheel throwing skill while apprenticing under Michael Obranovich, a specialist in functional stoneware. He then concentrated on Raku while working with Randy Brodnax, a teacher in investigational techniques in pottery. His work is exhibited in shows and galleries throughout the country.
