Speaker
Matt Bollinger
Matt Bollinger lives and works in New York state. He has had solo exhibitions in New York, Dublin, London, Los Angeles, and elsewhere, with a solo museum exhibition at the South Bend Museum of Art.
Paul Briggs
Paul Briggs’ signature ideas about art objects as material shapes began as an undergraduate. Primarily a slab-builder, his pinching technique takes inspiration from the idea that “nature makes no aesthetic mistakes.” Briggs earned a PhD from Penn State and an MFA from MassArt. He teaches ceramic art at Alfred University.
