Instructor Bio
Kelly King
Kelly King holds a BFA (Art Education) and an MFA (Ceramics) from the University of Georgia. She makes and teaches both sculptural and functional ceramics. Her hand-built ceramics fuse drawing, art history and narrative with a sculptural sensibility. Thematically, her work deals with the human impulse to arrange and organize the natural landscape.
King has taught in the college and community setting for over 18 years. She has led numerous workshops, including the Potter’s Council Series “Focus on Function” in Cincinnati, Ohio. She exhibits her work in galleries both regionally and nationally. Her sculpture and functional pottery have been featured in several art publications, including a feature article and cover photo in Ceramics Monthly. Originally from Georgia, she joined the Fine Arts Center in 2015. She holds a studio in her home in Greenville that she shares with her husband and two children.
