About the Artist: Walt grew up in San Antonio and, after serving in the Army, graduated from The University of the Incarnate Word where he later received an Outstanding Alumnus Award. He married Cynthia Vela, also a UIW graduate, in 1975, and they enjoyed 40 years together. After finding his artistic passion in creating beautiful, handmade, one of a kind pottery, Walt and Cynthia opened their shop, Village Gallery, in San Antonio's historic La Villita and a production studio in McQueeney, Texas. He and Cynthia loved participating in craft fairs around the country with a special fondness for the "Starving Artists Show" along the San Antonio River Walk and La Villita. They enjoyed a successful artistic venture for over forty years and their pottery has been appreciated across the globe. His unique pottery was collected by dignitaries from around the world, including the Queen of England, Ronald Reagan, and other notables, as well as being featured by San Antonio's sister city in Japan. As a master potter, Walt enjoyed mentoring professional potters from around the world, sharing his technique and skill. Later in his career, he loved teaching Ceramics at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas where he contributed both in and out of the classroom. With the help of TLU students and faculty, he introduced the "Empty Bowls Project" to the Seguin area, raising funds to help feed the hungry. ~ TERMS AND CONDITIONS ~ WINNING BIDDER/BUYER TO PAY FOR USPS SHIPPING AND HANDLING......IF YOU WISH TO ADD POSTAL INSURANCE, SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION OR WOULD LIKE YOUR ITEM DOUBLE-BOXED, PLEASE LET US KNOW BEFORE YOU COMPLETE CHECKOUT, SO THAT WE MAY ADD THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS TO YOUR INVOICE.....ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS DESCRIBED IN HONEST REPRESENTATION.....WE PROVIDE MANY PHOTOS AND STRIVE TO GIVE COMPLETE AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY ON ALL ITEMS.....WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND REVIEW ALL IMAGES AND READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.....FEEDBACK IS RECIPROCAL....WE LEAVE FEEDBACK ONCE FEEDBACK HAS BEEN LEFT FOR US.
