Gwendolyn Yoppolo is currently a spring resident artist at Anderson Ranch Arts Center. She recently completed a two-year residency at the Archie Bray Foundation. Prior to that, she worked as a kiln technician at Alfred University, and as Assistant Professor of Art at Juniata College. She holds an MFA from Penn State University, an MA from Teachers College Columbia University, and a BA from Haverford College. She creates sensuous kitchen and tablewares that use the physical experience of hunger and satiation to allude to larger issues of human desire and consumption.
Bring your recurrent themes and formal obsessions to this workshop, where techniques evolve out of your visionary designs for contemporary food-related vessels and utensils. Starting from lived experience, each student develops a unique language of process and form to articulate ideas that are thoughtful and relevant to the food cultures we exist within. We interrogate the role of ceramics in the kitchen, on the table, in the hand, at the market, and on the go. Historical and contemporary ceramic practices are discussed as relevant to issues of design, aesthetics, and meaning.
