About Erin McGuiness
An accomplished ceramicist 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, Erin carries a Bachelor of Fine 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 and California's artistic center where she worked in a number of different studio and clay centers before settling into Earthworks.
