Matt completed a residency at the Penland School of Crafts in November of 2008. Matt was also visiting Assistant Professor at Ohio University 2003-2004 and was Visiting Artist/Adjunct Professor at Wichita State University from 2001-2003 and in the fall of 2004. He was also a resident at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shigaraki, Japan in the summer of 2003 and a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts from 1999-2001.

His work is built on consideration, combining a subtle balance of geometry in form, a comparison of symmetry and asymmetry in decoration, and a serene surface.

Shoko received her MFA in ceramics in the fall of 2005 from Wichita State University. She has just finished a three-year residency at the Penland School of Crafts.

Shoko’s handbuilt work is made of earthenware with white slip and sgraffito decoration. She has developed personal drawings including a variety of vine patterns twisting around bird motifs. To Shoko, the birds represent freedom.
