Stephen Rodriguez_edited_edited.jpg

Stephen Rodriguez’s biography brings west to east: geographically - from growing up in Los Angeles to settling in Connecticut; and by inspiration - from Mexican-American roots towards a discipline in regard mostly to the tradition of ceramic art in Asia. His pottery training started close to home at Rio Hondo College in Los Angeles in 1972 and continued at Alfred University in New York State through 1978.

 

Stephen was Studio Manager of Clay Art Center in Port Chester, New York from 1981 to 1988 and then Department Head of Ceramics at Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, Connecticut from 1990 to the present. He received a CT Commission Fellowship in 2004. Alongside pottery making and teaching he builds downdraft gas kilns.

 

Stephen's pottery is represented by galleries in New York City, Massachusetts and Maine.
