| Juror:
Billy Ray Mangham |
|
Billy Ray Mangham has been working
in clay for 30 years. He received a B.A. in Ceramics from San
Jose State U. in San Jose, CA, and a M.A. and M.F.A. from
Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, TX. After teaching
for the Austin Museum of Art and Austin Community College in
Austin, TX for ten years, he purchased land and began to build
his house and studio near San Marcos in 1989. "My work
continues to focus on the raku process. The colors and the
interaction with the fire never cease to pull me forward. At
present, I am working on large sculptures using techniques
learned while in a month long sculpture symposium in Panavezys,
Lithuania with an international group of artists.
Billy Ray will be exhibiting at
the San Angelo Museum of Fine arts as an invited artist and
workshop presenter during ceramic week.
