Speaker
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.
William Downs
William Downs is an award-winning contemporary American artist residing in Atlanta, GA. He received his MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. He is represented by Sandler Hudson Gallery in Atlanta and was chosen by Artadia as their 2018 Atlanta awardee and by MOCA GA WAP (Working Artist Project) for 2020.
