FLYING CUP CLAY
Functional, Decorative, Sculptural CERAMICS.


Ceramic Artist, Randy Au has been a studio artist since 1987 when he established the Flying Cup Clay studio.
His "Vegetable Series" of vessels combine the whimsy of natural slipcasted forms with the opulence of colorful and lustrous painterly glaze decoration.

He participated in the emergence of the Santa Ana Artists' Village project in the early and mid. 90's and is presently the
ceramics teacher and Assistant Director of the Visual Arts Conservatory at the Orange County High School of the Arts in Santa Ana since 2002.
