Jewell Gross Brenneman

[ Lynn Lais ] [ Judith Nafziger ] [ Joseph Troncale ] [ Jewell Gross Brenneman ] [ Jane Graber ] [ Dick Lehman ] [ Royce Yoder ] [ Tim Martin ] [ Margaret Hudson ] [ Marie Harnish ] [ Ned Foltz ] [ Marvin Bartel ]

 
Jewell was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia in 1935. She graduated from Madison College in 1958 with a major in music and a minor in art.

For 21 years she taught in Bethel and Anchorage, Alaska, and did studio pottery, sculptural raku, and low-fire salt ceramics.

In 1987 Jewel moved to the Washington D.C. area for family and educational intent.

She currently teaches in the ceramics program at George Washington University, Washington D.C.

“I enjoy the processes of making pieces from wet clay,” says Jewell, “and find myself avoiding glazes and finishes which mask out the textural qualities of the clay.

Therefore lowfire techniques including raku, lowfire salt, or smoking seem to make my pieces speak in a way that I want them to do.”
