August Meeting will be a panel discussion with collegiate arts instructors: "What I want you to know."
Hear from 3 well-known Tennessee college instructors that have their own successful clay career. They will discuss the journey of students learning clay at the college level as well as their own experience and lessons that they “want you to know”!
Jane-Allen McKinney
“Clay opened a whole world of beauty for the symmetrical vessel while experiencing the calm and soothing act of throwing on the wheel where all other thoughts are replaced with the harmony of the wheel’s rotation. A form of relaxation that yields a beautiful form and pushes other thoughts away from those moments while throwing on the wheel. I find the process of making ceramics the most enjoyable and spontaneous process and media. My ceramics are mostly functional or figurative striving for the beauty of the material and the human form.”
Lewis Snyder
“It is my aim to pursue my work as a clay artist to the fullest by developing my knowledge and skills while using my natural talents to become the best artist that I can. I also strive to enrich my environment through my works and to share with others who could benefit from my experience. With that in mind, it is my intent to maintain a high level of professionalism, growth, and progression as I work toward my clay artist goals. A portion of that pursuit also drives me to explore more deeply into the possibilities of form and glaze color. Which in turn, leads to more experimenting with glaze development and firing techniques that could provide more control and assist in the production of more art pieces which possess that spark of life that is rarely seen in pottery being produced today.“
Patrick Andrew Green
“I have been a ceramic artist and sculptor for over seventeen years. I am based out of middle Tennessee, though I have done workshops and taught from Arizona to Maine.
I am an artist and professor. I spend most of my time teaching and refining my work. I also teach a number of Workshops from basic techniques to glaze development and kiln building.“
