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 deserts generate a wealth of new ideas gleaned from images created by flash flooding and glacier erosion. 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 Pottery Making Illustrated, 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; California Crafts, Sacramento. 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. Last year he was the juror and guest artist at the annual American Ceramic Society show at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona California.
Sadly, Bill Shinn passed away on April 25, 2011.
