Teacher Bio: Eva Conrad spent most of her adult life living in Appalachia, where she began her ceramics career within a rich craft environment. She received a BFA at Appalachian State University. She currently lives and works in Queens, creating functional and sculptural vessels. Eva’s work strongly focuses on exploring various techniques of color and pattern expression, always chasing new designs and colors.
