Empty Bowls

Artist of the Week: Stephanie Beiser

By

ARTIST OF THE WEEK Stephanie Beiser in her studio.
I wanted to meet Stephanie after seeing her work at the Dayton Art Museum’s store and at the Contemporary Dayton’s CoSHOP. Then I heard about her latest project and knew I should visit her studio right away.
Stephanie made 500 bowls for the Empty Bowls event on Thursday, February 23 benefiting House of Bread To get tickets for this event, and one of Stephanie’s bowls, go to https://houseofbread.org/
Although her pottery is amazing, Stephanie tells me she thinks of herself as more of a teacher than a potter.
“When I first came to Dayton I taught at Sinclair and then at Stivers School for the Arts” she told me. “Now I teach pottery at Edison State Community College and for the last six years I also teach at the University of Dayton.”
“I also work part-time at Cornell Studio Supply. That’s sort of part of my own continuing education in ceramic arts because Cornell brings in some of the country’s best ceramic artists for workshops. That gives me the chance to learn new techniques or just to get inspired by the best people in the field.”
