Columbia, SC
Jane Schwantes works as a potter in Columbia, SC, residing there for the last 30 years. Her BFA is from UNC-G and included work in ceramics. Born in rural southern New Jersey, she rambled through the wilds as a child. Early in her career she taught visual arts in the rural sea islands on the SC coast, later in the mountains of West Virginia.
As a potter she makes porcelain tableware that begins with a practical use. As each piece develops, the animals and plants she sees and their relationship to each other begin to populate her designs echoing her involvement with nature.
Building on her BFA, she practiced her skills while teaching visual arts to children in Columbia, SC. She used her master's degree focused on Arts Integration, to coordinate fine arts programs tied to other academic areas, pursuing relationships between arts processes and ideas.
Ms. Schwantes' work is available for sale at retail locations and arts festivals in S.C. She her work at www.schwantespottery.com
