Early life and education

Scott earned a BFA (summa cum laude) in Ceramics from the University of Oregon in 2010, [1] [2] and an MFA in Ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2012. [2] Scott resided in Nottingham Cooperative in Madison, Wisconsin from 2000 to 2003

Career

from "At-Home 3-D Printing & the Return of a Craft Utopia"

"The Web was just the proof of concept. Now the revolution hits the real world." With these words, Chris Anderson, editor of Wired magazine, joins Makerbot and RepRap creators and countless breathless bloggers in heralding the dawn of a technology that promises to bring to bear the same force that upturned media industries to manufacturing industries. This technology is desktop 3D printing which used 3D object files to build up an object through the deposition of layers of raw material. ...The tools of industrial design seem tantalizingly close, open to all. Given that object data is easily exchanged, edited and endlessly vast, the potential for revolution seems only logical. The manufacturing industry is destabilized and individuals regain an agency lost since the first industrial revolution. ...An especially interesting corollary can be found in the utopian project of craft-idealists like William Morris... Morris, usually described as anti-machine, deserves a re-reading for how he saw the machine in terms of idealized craft production. Morris called for machinery as a "help to the workman's hand-labor and not a supplanter of it". ...Also, "machines of the most ingenious and best-approved kinds will be used when necessary, but will be used simply to save human labor". [3]

— Stacy Jo Scott

Scott generates artworks in ceramics and other media with digital production methods. [4] She refers to her creative practice as tracking "the shifting edge between the seen and unseen." She says she creates objects "in the continuum between technology and embodiment, materiality and the virtual, order and chance, language and silence." [5] [6] Scott works both independently and collaboratively as a part of the Craft Mystery Cult Performance collaborative, [7] described as "a group tracing the relationship of object materiality and human interaction". [8]

Art education

In 2013, Scott was the Franzen Fellow for Digital Craft at Colorado State University-Fort Collins. From 2015-2017, she was a Lecturer in the Department of Art Practice at the University of California-Berkeley. [9] She also has taught at The Golden Dome School For Performing Planetary Rites. [10] [11] Scott joined the faculty of the Art Department of the University of Oregon in 2017. [2]

Curatorial practice

Speaking about "New Morphologies: Studio Ceramics and Digital Practices" at Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, [2] [12] which she curated with Del Harrow in 2013, Scott said, "What most excites me about digital fabrication are the ways in which it continues to enact our very human striving to bring form to an ideal." [13] The exhibit highlighted "work that emerges from the encounter between the physical materiality of ceramic objects and the ephemerality of digital information". [8]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Studio pottery</span> Modern hand-made artistic pottery

Studio pottery is pottery made by professional and amateur artists or artisans working alone or in small groups, making unique items or short runs. Typically, all stages of manufacture are carried out by the artists themselves. Studio pottery includes functional wares such as tableware and cookware, and non-functional wares such as sculpture, with vases and bowls covering the middle ground, often being used only for display. Studio potters can be referred to as ceramic artists, ceramists, ceramicists or as an artist who uses clay as a medium.

American craft is craft work produced by independent studio artists working with traditional craft materials and processes. Examples include wood, glass, clay (ceramics), textiles, and metal (metalworking). Studio craft works tend to either serve or allude to a functional or utilitarian purpose, although they are just as often handled and exhibited in ways similar to visual art objects.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Annabeth Rosen</span> American artist

Annabeth Rosen is an American sculptor best known for abstract ceramic works, as well as drawings. She is considered part of a second generation of Bay Area ceramic artists after the California Clay Movement, who have challenged ceramic traditions involving expression, form and function and helped spur the medium's acceptance in mainstream contemporary sculpture. Rosen's sculptures range from monumental to tabletop-sized, and emerge out of an accumulative bricolage process combining dozens or hundreds of fabricated parts and clay fragments and discards. Reviewers characterize her art as deliberately raw, both muscular and unapologetic feminine, and highly abstract yet widely referential in its suggestions of humanoid, botanical, aquatic, artificial, even science-fictional qualities. Critic Kay Whitney wrote that her work is "visceral in its impact, violent even, but also sensual and evocative" and "floats between the poles of the comic and the mordant."

His murals, works in clay, on paper, in wood, and other media pull from a rich and diverse set of influences: ancient Greco-Roman art, mythology, Japanese woodblock prints, comic books, folk stories, from Meso-American through Middle-Eastern and Asian ceramic traditions as well as the people he saw, the places he travelled, and his own dreamworld. He loved experimenting with new mediums, local materials, clay bodies, slips, kiln-building and the firing process.

John Parker Glick was an American ceramicist. Though open to artistic experimentation, Glick was most influenced by the styles and aesthetics of Asian pottery—an inspiration that shows in his use of decorative patterns and glaze choices. His experience working with ceramics led him to publish several articles about the craft. In addition to producing pottery, Glick began making "landscape oriented" wall panels during the latter part of his career. Known as "the people's potter," he is primarily remembered for his contributions to art and the field of ceramics.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nancy Selvin</span> American sculptor

Nancy Selvin is an American sculptor, recognized for ceramic works and tableaux that explore the vessel form and balance an interplay of materials, minimal forms, and expressive processes. She emerged in the late 1960s among a "second generation" of Bay Area ceramic artists who followed the California Clay Movement and continued to challenge ceramic traditions involving expression, form and function, and an art-world that placed the medium outside its established hierarchy. Her work has been exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Denver Art Museum, Daum Museum of Contemporary Art and Kohler Arts Center, and belongs to the public art collections of LACMA, the Smithsonian Institution, Oakland Museum of California, and Crocker Art Museum, among others. Critic David Roth has written, "Selvin's position in the top rank of ceramic artists has come through a process of rigorous self-examination … what differentiates [her] is that she eschews realism and functionality, indicating a level of intellectual engagement not always found among ceramicists." Writer and curator Jo Lauria described Selvin's tableaux as "elegiac and stylistically unified" works that serve as "forceful essays on the relationship between realism and abstraction, object and subject, decoration and use." Selvin lives and works in the Berkeley, California area.
