| The Appalachian Artisan Center is hosting an exhibit called Mike Ware: 30 Years of Pottery during the months of October, November and December 2009. Michael’s work throughout the years will be on display in addition to photographs and other memorabilia. A reception will be held on Friday, November 13th from 4-6 pm. Michael Ware was born and raised in Sunbury, PA, and attended school in nearby Lancaster. He received his BS in Art Education from Millersville State University. Michael came to Kentucky to attend Morehead State University and received a Masters in Studio Arts in 1974. Upon graduating, he accepted a teaching opportunity at the Hindman Settlement School in Eastern Kentucky, where he oversaw the operation of the clay studio at the school. In addition, Michael taught art to levels K-12 in both Knott and Letcher counties from 1975-1991. After a year off from public school teaching, he joined the faculty at nearby Alice Lloyd College in 1992, where he now teaches art for the school’s education majors as well as classes in the humanities. He is on the Advisory Board of the Appalachian Artisan Center and is very involved in the workshops and planning for Center. Michael creates his pottery on a potter’s wheel from stoneware clays. He often decorates his forms with images such as dogwood flowers, influenced by the woods near his home. Michael’s pottery can regularly be found at the Appalachian Artisan Center, Marie Stewart Craft Shop and Alice Lloyd College bookstore. |
