JASON HARTSOE (2018-2021)
Jason grew up in NC in a home full of pots made by his grandfathers and their fathers before them. After receiving a BA in English from Belmont College, in NC, Jason chose to pursue a ceramic education by apprenticing with master potters; he learned on the job as an assistant in England at Winchcombe Pottery, in Virginia with Dan Finnegan, and as an apprentice with Michael Hunt and Naomi Daglish at Bandana Pottery just down the road from Penland. Jason’s work reflects these influences and experiences and has continued to evolve during short residencies in Star, NC; The Archie Bray, MT; and Cortona, Italy. During his residency at Penland, Jason built a wood kiln in order to explore more deeply atmospheric firing, is establishing his own studio for the first time, developing his voice as a maker, and seeking an audience and market for his work.
