Rosette Gault Bio:
Rosette Gault, M.F.A Ceramics, has been contributing to the field of artistic ceramics as a visual artist for over 35 years. Her award winning ceramic sculpture and commission work has been exhibited widely since 1978, and is included in public and private collections in Canada, USA, Italy, Finland, UK, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, and beyond.
Her books include Paper Clay for Ceramic Sculptors (in print since 1993), and Paper Clay (in print since 1998) co-published by University of Pennsylvania Press (USA) and A&C Black (London UK) and Artisan Craft Books (Australia). She has contributed articles for Ceramics Monthly, Ceramic Review, Ceramic, Art and Perception, and others. She was awarded a US Patent for her innovation with balanced recipes of paperclay and as such was a pioneer in in that field.
As ceramic art educator she has taught and lead workshops and master classes at top universities and art schools worldwide for over 35 years. She is based in Seattle, WA.
Her first teachers in Boulder, Colorado, 1971 were Betty Woodman, and Larry Clark. She worked at Anderson Ranch, Aspen, Colorado with the traditional potter Hank Murrow, then pursued graduate level study. In Seattle, her appointments have included director coordinator of Seward Park Art Studio, interim director at Pottery Northwest, manager of Fireworks Gallery, and instructor at the University of Washington Experimental College. She has served on the full time faculty of Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland, Oregon. She is a member of Northwest Designer Craftsmen and Washington Clay Art Association.
She has devoted nearly 20 years to the establishment of a formal knowledge base for paperclay ceramics that supports the expansion of the field art. Thanks to worldwide contributions by artist colleagues who joined in the pioneering, many more teachers began to share what they learned and the use of paperclay has slowly emerged as a practice. We are seeing ceramic works today that were not possible to execute and fire successfully in the past.
