She holds a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts with a concentration in Ceramics from West Virginia University in Morgantown\, WV. In 2022\, she completed a year as a post- baccalaureate student at Montana State University in Bozeman\, MT. From 2022-2024\, she served as a long-term Artist in Residence at the Morean Center for Clay in St. Petersburg\, FL. She served as an invited artist at the 2025 winter Pentaculum short term residency at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg. Recently\, Amy attended a Resident Artist at Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shiga\, Japan. Amy has shown in exhibitions nationally and internationally. Her article “Harmonious Pouring Vessels” was included in the September 2025 issue of Ceramics Monthly. Currently\, she is attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as a Master’s of Fine Arts candidate. Discover More About Amy’s Work Here! \n\n\n\nDavid Vuong is an interdisciplinary artist who creates sculptures incorporating ceramic\, glass\, wood\, and metal. He is fascinated by how memory constructs the human and connects with his experiences of societal displacement. Through an interest in material and form\, he explores the language of vessels for the human and how processes of bodily preservation appear in cultural narratives. He graduated from Alfred University with a BFA and completed a post-bacc in ceramics at Temple University. He is a recipient of the 2025 Haystack artist grant initiative and a former resident at Watershed and Wheaton Arts. He is also a multi-recipient artist grant awardee for material and glaze research. David currently resides in Providence\, RI\, continuing his sculptural practice as a long-term resident at The Steelyard. Discover More About David’s Work Here! \n\n\n\nFaye Hadfield (b.1996) is a ceramic artist from the north east of England\, whose work explores emotion\, while blending Rococo aesthetics with crude handbuilt textures to create material dichotomies between surface and decoration. In Faye’s work memories of the British countryside resurface as motifs through gestures in the foliaged decoration\, giving homage to the bucolic landscape of England where she grew up. Faye completed her BFA in Ceramics at Bath Spa University (Bath\,UK)\, and the Kunst University (Linz\, Austria)\, 2018. Faye holds an MFA in ceramics from The University of Iowa (Iowa\, USA) 2026. Faye has exhibited her artwork internationally and nationally at: Collect (London)\, Le Delta (Belgium)\, Soho Review (London)\, Ceramic Art Fair (Paris)\, Culture Object (New York)\, HAGD Gallery & Galerie Worlfsen (Denmark)\,Nomad ST Moritz (Switzerland)\, Side Gallery (Spain)\, and annually at Paris Art & Design\, in Paris and London. Faye has received international and national research grants to expand her research in ceramics and Rococo Ornamentation. Hadfield has been awarded residencies at Ceramica Suro (Guadalajara\, Mexico)\, The Clay Shed (Bristol\, UK) and CRICA exchange residency (Nebraska Lincoln\, USA). Discover More About Faye’s Work Here! \n\n\n\nJohn Shea (b. 1989) works with clay to examine the way objects form relationships and exist in the world. Incorporating geometric and organic forms\, his work highlights the constructed boundaries between individual objects and the ways we differentiate between objects and ourselves\, seeking to reveal the hidden structures of our world. Shea holds a Master of Fine Arts and a Master of Arts from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally through prominent galleries\, including HostlerBurrows and HB381 in New York and Los Angeles\, Officine Saffi in Milan\, and Carwan Gallery in Athens. Additionally his work has been featured in art fairs such as Design Miami\, TEFAF\, Collect\, and Frieze New York. His most recent solo exhibition\, full volume\, opened in January 2025 at the Walton Art Center in Fayetteville\, Arkansas. Shea currently serves as Assistant Professor of Ceramics at the University of Arkansas–Little Rock\, where he has taught since 2021. Discover More About John’s Work Here! \n\n\n\nNanxi Jin (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist working with clay as a site of fragmentation and reconstruction. Born in Jingdezhen\, China\, the historical center of porcelain production\, and now based in Chicago. Her practice examines how ceramic materials carry cultural memory across geographies. Her work begins with broken forms: shards\, discarded vessels\, and glaze residues. Rather than restoring these elements\, she reassembles them into structures that hover between function and collapse. Through processes such as slip casting\, handbuilding\, and modular construction\, she destabilizes traditional ceramic hierarchies of refinement and perfection\, foregrounding the overlooked waste\, excess\, and residue. Nanxi received her BFA from Alfred University and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been exhibited internationally\, including NYCxDesign (New York)\, Woman Made Gallery (Chicago)\, SOIL (Seattle)\, Ceramic Art Avenue Gallery (Jingdezhen)\, and Paris Design Week (Paris). She has been awarded residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation\, Ox-Bow School of Art\, Vermont Studio Center\, and Anderson Ranch. Her work is included in the Guangdong Shiwan Ceramic Museum’s collection in China. Discover More About Nanxi’s Work Here! \n\n\n\nWant to learn more about Sponsorship opportunities?

As a child\, she spent her summers cleaning apartments with her mother. She witnessed first-hand physically forced evictions\, domestic violence\, racism\, and sexism towards members of her community\, family\, and self. These themes recur in Priscilla’s artwork. \n\n\n\nPriscilla’s Maya grandpa and Scottish-German grandparents took her to painting and pottery classes. Taught her how to garden while studying native plants. Her Scottish Grandma Ruby introduced her to the industrial rope Henequen and told her how shipping yards in Glasgow imported them from Yucatan. Her Maya grandfather gave her oral stories of Maya warriors and folklore. Her Maya aunties helped her with sewing projects. \n\n\n\nIt’s through these experiences of labor\, love\, and resilience that Priscilla understood the importance of community and how traditional folk art both shows our stories and our relationship to the ecosystems. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nInterested in learning more about event sponsorship opportunities?

In 2023\, she was awarded the NCECA Graduate Student Fellowship and the American Ceramic Circle Research grant.

Her work has been presented in a number of solo and group exhibitions\, including three solo exhibitions with Lamb Gallery in London\, as well as presentations with Sotheby’s and Timothy Taylor.
