He found himself as an art student at a small liberal arts college in North GA, where he was introduced to ceramics as a requirement for graduation. After his first ceramics class, he was completely hooked. “Life in GA was uncomfortably slow for me, sitting at a potter’s wheel was the first thing I found in the south that helped calm my angst and direct my energy towards something creative”. Shortly after deciding to become a ceramics major, Ian found crystalline glazes. The challenge these glazes put forward created a lifelong passion for Ian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"project-meta\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"project-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, Ian was accepted to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst as a graduate student in ceramics. He spent the next three years focused on research and development of his crystalline glazes. Since that time Ian has shown his work and conducted workshops extensively both internationally and nationally. In 2013 he was invited to attend a symposium in La Bisbal, Spain to show his work and give a lecture about his techniques in crystalline glazing to the international community. Most recently, Ian’s work and technique have been featured in the July\/August 2016 issue of Pottery Making Illustrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIan is currently a Professor of Ceramics at Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, MS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"_1nd00\" data-hook=\"description\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"e4WLr\"\u003ePolicies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/still-life-studio.com\/pages\/liability-waiver\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/still-life-studio.com\/pages\/liability-waiver\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e enrolling in a class or workshop, you are acknowledging that you have read and understand the safety instructions and liability waiver.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCancellations made 4 or more days before the start of the class will\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e be refunded.
