2009Notes
(American) Maureen Mills grew up with an interest in making things from sewing her own clothes to knitting blankets and sweaters. She didn’t discover clay until she was a sophomore at Knox College in Illinois, where she finished her degree in Chemistry but continued to pursue her passion for clay. As a potter for more than 30 years now, her love of surface design is evident and well documented in her book Surface Design for Ceramics published in 2008 by Lark books. She is on the faculty at the Institute of Art and Design at New England College in Manchester, NH. She exhibits her ceramic vessels nationally and internationally. Her work has most recently been included in the 10th Gyeonggi International Ceramics Biennale in the Republic of South Korea. As a member of the International Symposium on Ceramic Art Education and Exchange, Maureen has taken groups of faculty and students to Japan, China, England and the Republic of South Korea where she has presented her research on surface design and taught workshops.
