Originally from Mississippi, Hunter comes to us from Cobb Mtn Art & Ecology where he is currently a resident. He received his BFA from Mississippi State University and Post-Bac work from University of Kansas. Often drawn to labor that engages his hands, Hunter particularly appreciates the tactile nature of working with clay. His body of work focuses primarily on functional objects and vessel making because he enjoys engaging with historical craft traditions in addition to producing work that is intended to be handled and engaged with intimately.
