New Year Horse Race

It took a few years, but we are re-energized. The coming year looks to be a good one.

We are very happy to welcome ceramic artist Veronica Byun to our department as Artist in Residence. She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in ceramic sculpture. Originally from Seoul, Korea, Veronica is currently based in New Jersey. Her education includes degrees from Alfred, RISD and post Baccalaureate work at Syracuse University.

She has exhibited in numerous national and international exhibitions including the "54th Premio Faenza International Ceramic Art Competition," in Italy, the Taiwan Ceramics Biennale 2008, in Taipei, Taiwan and "World Women: On the Horizon," at the Baltimore Clayworks, in Maryland. She is represented by Loveed Gallery, in New York City.

Awards include residencies at Guldagergard Ceramic Research Center, Denmark, PrattMWP, and a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship. Her work has been reviewed in numerous publications including Ceramics Monthly, Ceramics Art and Perception and The Philadelpia Enquirer.

This fall Veronica is teaching a ceramic sculpture course in our continuing education division and will be conducting a mold making workshop in November (more to come on that).

We welcome Veronica and are excited to be working with her. We will be posting images of her work in the near future.  In the meantime you may go to the link below...
