Kit Cornell
Potter
AIE;CAP
Kit is a professional potter making functional pieces in both stoneware and porcelain from her studio in Exeter. Her work is appreciated and shown both here and abroad. Her forms are simple and her glazes complex, resulting from study of many cultures and traditions. She is recently returned from a trip to France, where she visited potters and spent time at the Sevres Museum and the Guimet Museum of Far Eastern Art. Her interests include using local resources, exploring clay as historical record, and ensuring the relevance of art in daily life. Art gives life meaning. Kit's commitment to art education in general and clay education in particular may be seen in the sharing of her studio with apprentices and students, traveling to far corners of the state to teach, and presenting at workshops and conferences. Imaginations may be kindled, respect for the planet strengthened, processes taught, and skills relevant to many areas of life acquired by working in clay. Organizational affiliations include the League of NH Craftsmen, New Hampshire Potters Guild, Exeter Art Association, and the Seacoast Growers Association's Portsmouth Farmer's Market. Currently she serves on the NH State Arts Council's Arts in Education advisory committee and the Currier Museum's advisory council.
