July 2012: Mike Jabbur
Mike Jabbur earned a BA in Graphic Design from Virginia Tech and a BFA in Ceramics from Ohio University. He is currently a Professor of Ceramics at the College of William and Mary in Virginia and was recently Studio Director at Santa Fe Clay, in Santa Fe, NM.
Of his work, he writes, “Fundamental to my production of utilitarian pottery is the forging of connections that simultaneously enrich lives and celebrate the positive aspects of humanity. My pottery is about these very entities: material, form, utility, interaction and experience; through the exploration of these entities, I intend to re-engage the user with the vessel… I hope to enhance our breaks in the day—modest endeavors such as afternoon coffee, conversation, and sharing in drink with friends. Yet my pottery also succors rare and special moments of reflection and celebration.”
