Collection: Joy Tanner

Joy received a BFA in Ceramics at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. After graduation, she pursued a Resident Artist position at the Odyssey Center for the Ceramic Arts in Asheville, North Carolina. Immersing herself in the beautiful mountains has greatly inspired her work and life. Reflections of detail and pattern are a distinctive element within Joy's pottery, and she enjoys working with such a responsive material as clay. She is a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, Piedmont Craftsman, and the Toe River Arts Council, and exhibits her work in regional and national galleries. Since 2013, Joy creates pottery in her studio in Bakersville, NC.
