Lindsay Rogers Artist Biography

I began my formal artistic training at Sarah Lawrence College as a printmaker. After graduation in 2001 I moved to New Haven Connecticut where I took my first pottery class. It was there that I met my teacher Louise Harter who quickly became a mentor, good friend and a continual motivating source for creating pottery. In 2005 I was offered a residency position in Natchez, Mississippi. For two years I worked with potter Conner Burns in the Natchez Clay teaching studio. I currently work out of my own studio as a resident artist at the EnergyXchange in Burnsville, North Carolina. My work is fired in the methane fueled kiln at my studio and in wood kilns within my community.

Lindsay Rogers Artist Statement

As the daughter of former antique dealers I grew up with a distinct admiration of the history I saw in many of the objects that surrounded me. Each table, each plate, each garden tool was visibly affected by what had come before me. Heavy in each of them were the stories (and promise) of wonderful meals, terrible falls and hundreds and hundreds of hands. As a child I used these things, made my marks, and went on without them. There is an excitement I feel in creating something new from the earth that harbors this potential. Upon completion, I would like my pottery to possess the respect I feel for all of the old objects I have come in contact with, as well as the excitement I feel for the new and growing. I hope that each piece that I create can stand alone as a little ceramic snapshot of the way I interact with the world.
