Karen Karnes

Karen Karnes’s life and work embody more than a half-century of excellence. Her fierce commitment to making objects of profound meaning and beauty, their astonishing range and sheer quantity, and the singular voice that is apparent in everything she touches have made her one of the most important potters alive. Guided by a ferocious independence and formidable work ethic, the trajectory of her life in art from the Bronx Coops to Brooklyn College and from Black Mountain to northern Vermont is one of the great stories of modern object makers
