Master Potter Workshop - Deborah Schwartzkopf
Saturday, October 10, 2009
Interested in functional pottery — especially functional pottery that is also beautiful? Then this is the workshop for you. Deborah Schwartzkopf will demonstrate both wheelthrowing and handbuilding functional pots at the Master Potter Workshop in the clay arts studio, Saturday, October 10th from 9 am to 4 pm. This workshop is in conjunction with Women in White Ware, a four-person exhibition including Deborah with Mary Barringer, Elizabeth Robinson and Mary Law (a former CAE instructor) at Trax Gallery in Berkeley, October 10th to November 8th.
Deborah grew up near Puget Sound in Washington and earned her a BA in Art at the University of Alaska, completing a Masters Degree in Fine Arts at Pennsylvania State University in 2005. She was awarded a residency at the Sanboa Ceramics Art Institute in Jingdezhen, China and after her two-week stay at the institute, traveled throughout China to other pottery locations. She received a Lilian Fellowship to be a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation later that year and in the 2006-07 school year was a visiting assistant professor in the Ohio University ceramics program. She recently spent a year as the artist in residence at Mudflat Studios near Boston, MA.
Deborah is a friend of guild member Pam Bivins and will be staying with Pam during her stay here.
