Candice Methe
Originally from Falmouth, MA., Candice Methe is a studio artist and educator. She has been working in clay for twenty-five years and most recently moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina. She received her BFA in Ceramics and Art History from Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ. and her MFA from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Inspired by historical objects and traditional ways of making, she has traveled to Japan, Ghana, Nicaragua, Mexico among other places to study the traditional practices of artisans working in clay. In pursuit of her artistic, peripatetic practice she has done residencies long-term and short-term at Santa Fe Clay, Red Lodge Clay Center, the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts and Roswell Artist in Residence Foundation. When not in the studio, you can find her outside exploring ghost towns, ruins, road-side museums, mountains and rivers with her old man Chris and three dogs Loulee Streetfighter, Deming Bones and Rumi.
