Meet Chance Taylor, the new Ceramics Technician & Artist in Residence at ETSU Department of Art and Design. Chance Taylor is originally from Fargo, North Dakota. He received his BFA in ceramics from North Dakota State University and his MFA from the University of Missouri. Taylor’s work draws upon his fascination with an object’s purpose to facilitate culture and fulfill our psychological and practical needs through everyday use and ritual. His most recent work is influenced by the formal logic of plants and flowers and is intended to celebrate and elevate the everyday. Taylor has displayed his work nationwide and in publications such as Ceramics Monthly. He has participated in dozens of juried and invitational exhibitions. Most recently, he was included in the 2024 Strictly Functional Pottery National and the Southern Mississippi Ceramics National. He also completed his solo show Florescence at the Columbia College Hardwick Gallery, Columbia, Missouri. Welcome to ETSU, Chance Taylor!

Mat Wheeler, the previous ceramic technician, has accepted the position of Visiting Assistant Professor in the ceramics area. Professor Wheeler obtained his BFA from Northern Arizona University and his MFA from Indiana University. His practice is based primarily in making pottery. Working with persistent pottery forms seen throughout many cultures and times, he incorporates formal abstractions that emphasize the anthropomorphic language used to describe pottery. Professor Wheeler’s current research is focused on porcelain, glaze, and reduction-cooled soda firings. When not working, Professor Wheeler enjoys biking, going on hikes, and reading/watching science fiction novels and movies.
