About
Margeaux Claude is a two time Fulbright Fellow and graduate of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University (MFA in Ceramics), and the Kansas City Art Institute (BFA in Ceramics).
A Minnesota native, Margeaux was inspired by the traditions of hand thrown pottery in the Minnesota river valley, and at 16 was working in a solo studio in New Zealand with icy white porcelain.
Interested in global histories of design and manufacturing, she has worked extensively with European educators and designers at the International Ceramics Studio in Kecskemet, where she first learned to turn plaster models and molds in 2009. In 2015 she completed research and imported plaster turning equipment as part of her Jerome Foundation Award. Turning prototypes and pulling molds as one would in a factory setting is now primary to her work.
Her Fulbright awards have focused on the Intersections of Art, Design, Manufacturing and Architectural Ceramics.
