Sequoia Miller, Swimming Deer Pottery -
Sequoia Miller is a native of raised in . He received his B.A. in Russian Cultural Studies, with a Minor in Art History from in . Afterward, Sequoia returned to where his passions turned away from academics and toward pottery. He furthered his education in ceramics by pursuing his favorite artists as teachers rather than enrolling in a degree program. Sequoia has studied extensively at craft schools such as Penland and Haystack, and with many of the nation's foremost potters.
“Making pottery is a process fundamentally about asking questions. Each time I sit at the wheel to make a familiar form, I recall the issues raised by the last series of pots I made of that type – how did they look with wider bases? Did I try faceting them? Some forms are prone to continual re-evaluation, and they change rapidly. Others evolve slowly and almost imperceptibly. The majority of my pots, though, rise and fall in a continuous fluctuation from active change to near dormancy.”
“I stay engaged with this process because the act of potting is, for me, the realization of archetypes and as actual pots. A bowl is both a bowl and Bowl. This dualism of symbolic and functional endows pottery with its secret life of metaphors and memory, and gives pottery an intense potential for resonance. I strive to make pots that reveal this duality not instantaneously, but over time and with use.”
Sequoia Miller relocated to the to establish a pottery studio in 1995. He exhibits in galleries and sells his ceramics nationally. Sequoia also teaches pottery workshops on a regular basis.
