| Introduction | Alix Knipe is a ceramic artist that calls Carbondale Colorado home. In 2011-2012 she was a Fulbright Fellow living in the middle of Turkey researching Anatolian ceramics.
As an only child and the daughter of two artists, she grew up playing in the forest hunting for mushrooms, collecting rocks and butterflies, and learning the names of clouds and constellations. She fell in love with clay because of the possibility of endless discovery, the romantic notions of clay (transcending time, speaking a universal language, recording an experience), the joy of losing time in play, and the physical rhythm of a potters life. She has two undergraduate degrees, one from Eckerd College (Environmental Studies and Eastern Religious Studies) and the other from University of Minnesota (Art). In 2013 she received her MFA from University of Nebraska, Lincoln. |
