About Barbara Glynn Prodaniuk

My work encompasses ceramic sculptures, wall pieces, and functional pottery, utilizing both wheel-thrown and slab construction techniques. I use both porcelain and stoneware clay bodies and fire to cone 10 in a gas kiln. Sculptural pieces may include some mixed media elements.  I draw inspiration from daily life and the abundance of natural forms around me. I am a full-time ceramic artist living and working in my home-based studio in Truckee, CA, since 1981. My work can be found in private collections across the country and is exhibited both locally and nationally.

I hold a BFA from California State University, Northridge, and served as an apprentice at The Clay Pot in Calabasas, CA. Between 1976 and 1978, while pursuing my degree. I was a Ceramic Instructor at Sierra Nevada College, Incline Village, NV, 1994-1997, and Summer Program Instructor-Ceramic Basic Design, Moorpark Junior College, 1980.

Currently, I’m a full-time studio potter and serve on the Board of Directors for The Association of Clay and Glass Artists of California.
