Featured potter: Brian Ransom

My son, Tai Rogers, studied with Brian Ransom, the professor of Visual Arts, ceramics department at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL, and musician using his own creations.  And thus Tai began his own ceramics journey when he graduated in 2001.

Creating Musical Instruments and Sound Sculptures 
Students in this class will make and tune a variety of ceramic musical instruments and sound-producing sculptures. The class will cover many of the handbuilding, throwing, and assembling techniques I use to make my own sounding sculptures and musical instruments. We will cover clay bodies, firing techniques (particularly vapor firing) and the formal and informal sculptural processes used in creating sounding ceramics.

  2. I met Brian at NCECA when it was in Tampa a few years ago. We also went to the exhibit at Ekerd, the poster from the exhibit is hanging in our studio. His work is pretty cool.

    1. Oh thanks for reminding me, I think I've got that poster somewhere also. My son had some pieces in the Eckerd exhibit and he (and Brian of course) were at NCECA. I only went to galleries, some of which were fabulous.
