Ceramics: Make-up Assignment

Is wheel-throwing just not your thing?  Did something explode in the kiln?  Did your friend accidentally drop your piece?  Well, I have a solution for you...

Ceramic Artist Profile

Find a ceramic artist (current or cold in the ground) to write a brief profile about.

      How do I find a relevant ceramic artist?
         - Look through ceramic books in the classroom
         - Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts - any of the artists listed that will be attending a residency this summer
         - Everson Museum Permanent Collection - scroll down to "Ceramics"
         - Ceramic Arts Daily - every article is written by a ceramic artist
         - Look through museum exhibitions online

Attach at least 3 pieces of artwork done by the artist.  Include title, material, and date created.

Questions to consider when writing the profile...
Describe the work.  How is it made?  What kind of clay is used?  How is it made (Hand built? Which technique? Wheel thrown?) What is the surface design like? Is it painted with slip, underglaze, majolica, glazes etc...?  How long has the artist been working with clay?  Did s/he go to college?  What does s/he say about the work?  What does the artist statement say?

EDIT YOUR WRITING! Grammar will count in the grade. Proofread everything.
