Since
his retirement from Hancock College in 1988, Bill Shinn has become internationally
recognized both in Painting and Ceramics. He has had over 40 years of
art experience beginning in the late 50's at the Academy Julian and Sorbonne
in Paris, France. Bill received a Bachelors Degree in Painting and a
Masters
Degree in Ceramics at UCLA.
Bill's
ceramic images are produced combining the techniques of slab form and
extrusion. Out of need, he has recently set about designing and producing
new dies to accomplish his unique art. In addition, regular backpacking
trips to the Sierras and desert generate a wealth of new ideas, gleaned
from images created by flash flooding and glacier erosion. While the experiences
are truly inspirational, Bill feels they can be a bit overwhelming when
one is so filled with creative thoughts. In addition, he considers risk
a necessary element in any artist's experience. Thus the adventure continues.
During
his career, Shinn has traveled extensively in the USA, Europe, Japan and
Russia, furthering his art experience and recognition. Shinn's experimentation
with the ceramic extruder has produced many award-winning pieces. His
work has recently been featured in Clay Times and Ceramics Monthly. He
offers Ceramics workshops in various techniques. Some of his shows in
which he has won awards include: Feats of Clay National, Lincoln,
CA; Sculpture in Clay, Portland, ME; Strictly Functional, New Cumberland,
PA; Contours VI & VII National, Sonora, CA; California Crafts,
Sacramento, CA and Pottery X & XI, Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo,
CA. International shows include the 48th International Ceramic
Competition in Faenza, Italy, The Fletcher Challenge Ceramic Award Competition
in Auckland, New Zealand, and the World Ceramic Exposition 2001 in Korea.
Most
recent shows include: Artistic Imagings In Clay, (a juried exhibition)
at the Art Museum Of The Americas in Washington, D.C. - Oct. 10,2001 to
Jan.5, 2002 and Tile Out Of The Box in Alexandria, VA - Oct. 10 to Nov
18, 2001.
