Massive studio ceramic planter. Signed Snyder.
Warm earth tones match the organic details.
Snyder received his B.A. and B.S. at Glenville State College in West Virginia and his M.F.A. at Ohio University in Athens. He also studied in Rome and Italy. In 1970 Snyder was invited to participate in an International Ceramic Symposium that was taking place in Bechyne, Czechoslovakia. The mission of the International Ceramic Symposium was to help develop a worldwide network of support for ceramic art by bringing together top ceramic artists from around the world for a month-long sharing of ideas and creation of innovative ceramics. While in Bechyne, he was inspired and encouraged to start the U.S. branch of the International Ceramic Symposiums in Tennessee. In order to make it official, he obtained legal recognition and support from both the Verband International Ceramic Symposia in Austria and the International Academic of Ceramics in Switzerland, the two bodies that organized European Symposiums. Thanks to Synder’s perseverance, in spring of 1971, the Tennessee Arts Commission pledged its support for the promotion and establishment of the U.S. International Ceramic Symposiums. A total of three were held in Tennessee—the first in Memphis in 1973, the second in Gatlinburg in 1975, and the third and final in Smithville in 1985. In 1972 Snyder was appointed the Crafts Director of the Tennessee Arts Commission, where he was in charge of organizing and directing the first and second Symposiums.
