Bio |
Ryan Alexander Dawson was born in Boise, Idaho. While studying fine arts at Monmouth College, Ryan has had works displayed in the college's Juried Student Exhibition, winning the Best of Ceramics award during his junior year. Additionally, Ryan has apprenticed under local potter Linda Sickmon.
Although he is primarily a ceramic artist, he enjoys metal working, photography, carpentry, and sewing. He has gained much from his formal experience at Monmouth College, but he believes that art education doesn't end after classes are done. In his free time, Ryan reads ceramic journals, researches glaze chemistry, experiments with new mediums, and involves himself in art education ranging from kindergarten to senior citizens. Ryan's love for heat, functionality, and all things labor intensive drive him toward being a better artist. |
