Brian Molanphy

Assistant Professor of Ceramics

A European bicycle tour introduced Brian Molanphy to wood-fired ceramics & wood-oven baked bread. He studied pots and pastry until a Pennsylvania State University Fellowship put pastry on the back burner. Upon completion of the Ceramics MFA degree, he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study at the National Manufactory of Sèvres, France. As artist-in-residence at the Alberta College of Art & Design in Calgary, Canada he completed exhibitions there & in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He returned to France as a Fellow of the Camargo Foundation in Cassis and as a Fellow of the Brown Foundation in Ménerbes, which led to several exhibitions in France. He is an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics, which presents contemporary ceramics at its highest level, including fewer than 80 American artists. Molanphy began teaching ceramics at Meadows in the fall of 2011. In 2012 he was awarded a Meadows travel grant and a University Research Council grant for research on marbled clay. As much as he enjoys life on campus, he is delighted to return in the summer to Provence for its marbled clay or to New Mexico for its micaceous clay.
