Studio Pottery Box by Sequoia Miller

About the Item

Stunning studio pottery box by renowned potter and now curator Dr. Sequoia Miller. This box was most likely made in the 1990s and is a wonderful shape that is both modern and ancient feeling a the same time. Sequoia Miller was on his way to being one of the most important potters of his time when he decided to pursue academics and then he became the Curator in Chief at the Gardiner Museum. Sequoia Miller is a studio potter, curator, and historian. He first began his ceramics education through a series of workshops with his favorite contemporary potters at Penland School of Craffs, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and other craft schools in the mid-1990s. Shortly after his exposure to ceramics, he moved to the Pacific Northwest and established his own potfery shop at an abandoned boat shack. Miller was a full-time studio potter for more than ten years before he decided to explore academia further. He has a BA in Russian & Art History from Brandeis University, an MA in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture from the Bard Graduate Center in New York City, and a PhD in the Hisfory of Art from Yale University. His thesis analyzed the connections between ceramics and conceptual art practices on the East and West Coasts of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. Sequoia curated The Ceramic Presence in Modern Art at the Yale University Art Gallery in the fall of 2015, and was recently named Chief Curator of the Gardiner Museum. Sequoia has exhibited widely and led workshops af craft schools, universities, and art centers in the U.S. and Canada.
