Instructor Bio

Danelle Cass

I am a small batch functional potter and porcelain jeweler, and have been working in ceramics for more than 20 years. I handcraft each piece from porcelain clay in my home studio. I throw pottery on the wheel, as well as using some alteration and hand building techniques. I use various traditional techniques such as silkscreen, mono printing, 22K Gold luster glazing, and incised design carving for a contemporary take on functional pottery. I have a BA in Art & Design from the University of North Texas. I use my educational and professional backgrounds in Ceramics, Studio Art, Art History, and Anthropology to incorporate design elements used throughout history into my work. As a potter, I feel that functionality is essential. There are some great sculptural ceramicists, but for me, ceramic housewares combine artistic beauty with functionality, and increase the enjoyment of the food and drinks people use them for.
