Introducing Shawn O’Connor, 2021 Post-Conference Speaker, In Search of My Mark
Instagram @shawnoconnorceramics.

Shawn O’Connor, Shawn received his MFA in Ceramics from Syracuse University in 2010. Since graduate school, Shawn has continued to focus on making utilitarian wood fired vessels. Shawn is currently an Assistant Professor, teaching ceramics and sculpture, and Associate Director of Galleries and Museums at Sweet Briar College in Virginia.

“In an attempt to find my own voice within the wood firing practice, I have discovered inventive techniques to change the traditional and accepted perceptions of woodfired ceramics. This lecture will cover my journey of experimentation while highlighting ceramic artists who are adding new visual vocabulary to this historic process.”
