A ceramic studio demonstration by visiting artist, George Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a ceramic sculptor who creates large-scale figurative works in clay. His work draws inspiration from his Mexican-American upbringing. The first in his family to finish college, he earned his BFA from the University of Texas, El Paso, and his MFA from the University of Washington. A recipient of the Bonderman Travel Fellowship, he traveled to 26 different countries throughout most of 2010. This travel continues to have a profound impact on George and his work. His sculptures can be found in the permanent collection of the National Mexican Museum of Art in Chicago and the Hallie Ford Museum in Salem, OR. He is represented by Foster/White Gallery in Seattle, WA and is currently an adjunct professor and artist in residence at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia.
