About Erin McGuiness
An accomplished sculptor whose work is in private collections stretching from coast to coast, Erin's creative center is Earthworks, a ceramics co-op in the historic Sawtooth Building in Berkeley California's Artisan District. There you can find dozens of her organic forms emerging from stoneware and porcelain, tenmoku washes, slips and shinos, then fired in the eucalyptus air of the Bayside town. A lifelong artist, who grew up in suburban Virginia spending weekends visiting the famed Smithsonian museums. Erin carries a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Quaker's Earlham College in Indiana. A year long immersion with Pennsylvania potter Dale Huffman preceded her journey to the West Coast in 1998. Erin's sculptures burst onto the San Francisco design scene in 2009, when her pieces were used in Matthew Leverone's award wining design at the San Francisco Decorators showhome and by Dowling Kimm Studio for their spare bedroom at the Metropolitan Home magazine showhome.
