Widely considered one of the most innovative second-generation artists to come out of the American ceramic studio movement, Wayne Higby also played an integral role in educating the ceramists of tomorrow. Associate professor at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, Ezra Shales brings together a panel of artists who studied under Higby to discuss their teacher’s influence, their own work, and the direction of ceramics today. Artists on the panel include Kim Dickey, Joey Foster Ellis, and Micheal Jones McKean.
