About Me
- bryan mcgrath
- I am a Professor of Art at PrattMWP, Utica,NY, the upstate campus of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. Our ceramics department serves the central NY region and beyond as a center for teaching all levels and processes in the ceramic arts. We have had such noted visiting artists as Val Cushing, Seth Cardew, Ian Currie, to name a few. I have been a potter and teacher for over 35 years. My work includes functional porcelain and stoneware. I also make work for exhibition that explores the more sculptural aspects of the vessel. My work has been influenced by Eastern pottery traditions of Iga, Bizen, Sung, Koryo and American potters such as Robert Turner, Marie Woo and John Jessiman. I have exhibited extensively in the US and abroad. My work is in collections in the US, Japan, Europe and Australia. I have a passionate interest in atmospheric firings. I am most interested the effects of wood ash and sodium vapor on the surface and shape of pots. I have lead numerous workshops in throwing, porcelain, wood and salt firings, and kiln building.
