Collection: Kurt Anderson

Kurt Anderson received a degree in education from the University of Wyoming, Laramie, and an MFA from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge. He has been an artist-in-residence at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina, the Archie Bray Foundation in Montana, and Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts in Maine. Anderson was the Fergus Post MFA Fellow at Ohio State University in 2009-2010. Trading the ocean of California for the mountains of North Carolina, Anderson grew up in Santa Rosa and now calls Bakersville, North Carolina home. His everyday ceramic objects feature technicolor imagery that playfully combines old and new: bold, sharply drawn characters that wouldn’t be out of place in graphic novels or street art are nestled within patterned backgrounds that nod back to the folk pottery traditions of China, Japan, and Persia.
