Patrick Bell was born in Reisterstown, Maryland and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He received his BFA in Ceramics with a Minor in Printmaking from Edinboro University in 2016 and subsequently spent two years studying Ceramics at Wichita State University in Kansas. After completing his MFA in Ceramics at Kent State University Patrick moved to Baltimore to accept a Long-Term Residency at Baltimore Clayworks where he teaches as well as at MICA and the Community College of Baltimore County. His latest works raise questions about mental illness as well as mal-adaptive and destructive self-soothing strategies. You can see his latest work at www.patrickryanbell.com
Kristyn Rohrer (they/she) is a ceramic sculptor born in Lancaster, PA. Through ceramic process, design, and storytelling, Kristyn takes ownership of their Mennonite upbringing and identity in creating their body of work, bringing a contemporary twist to the nostalgia of Pennsylvania Dutch culture. Kristyn received a B.A. in Sociology with minors in Ceramics and German from Kutztown University in 2018, and completed a Ceramic Arts post-baccalaureate program at West Virginia University in 2022. Kristyn has served as a resident artist at the Nampara Arts Cooperative (Morgantown, WV), ANG Pottery (Baltimore, MD), and Kutztown University (Kutztown, PA), and interned at The Clay Studio (Philadelphia, PA). Kristyn has exhibited ceramic work nationally since 2017 and will be the 2024-2025 Lormina Salter Fellow at Baltimore Clayworks.
