Kyle Johns, Ceramics Artist-in-Residence 2024
Opening reception June 28, 5-7pm
On view in the Main Hall Display, Ceramics Artist-in-Residence 2024 Kyle Johns presents a series of work that highlights his unqiue style, process, and his time here at The Umbrella.
About Kyle: Widely exhibited and published artist and teacher, Kyle Johns is the new Ceramics Artist-in-Residence at The Umbrella Arts Center. With an MFA from Ohio University, Kyle has been a resident at Red Lodge Clay Center, The Interdisciplinary Ceramics Research Center, The Archie Bray Foundation, and The International Ceramics Center in Kecskemet, Hungary. He has taught at Kansas State University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and the Ceramics Program at Harvard University.
Kyle’s work deconstructs traditional industrial mold-making processes and functional domestic objects – from mugs and shot glasses to vases and holiday ornaments – to create unique new forms that explore “the grey area” between the practical and the sculptural.
