Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: A ceramist who specializes in wood firing and salt/soda firing, Trevor T. Dunn talks about his craft and shares his experiences in kiln building during his appearance at SUU’s Department of Art and Design’s weekly lecture series, Art Insights, on Thursday, March 20, 2011.

Trevor T. Dunn earned his undergraduate degree in sculpture and ceramics from the University of South Florida in 1996, and then moved to Durango, Colorado, where he set up a studio and built a small anagama kiln to pursue his interest in wood-fired pottery. Dunn joined the faculty at San Juan College in 1999 teaching ceramics and sculpture. In 2003, he built another anagama kiln in Riverside, New Mexico, to produce larger works. In 2009 he received his Master of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics from Utah State University and received the 2009 NCECA Graduate Student Fellowship Award for a proposed study and film project in Jianxi, China. He has taught workshops around the country in wood firing, salt/soda firing, and kiln building. Dunn is currently an adjunct faculty member and the ceramic studio coordinator at Utah State University and continues to teach at San Juan College in the summers.

Art Insights is a weekly program hosted during the fall and spring semesters by SUU’s Art and Design faculty. Students and community members meet weekly to experience presentations and discussions by visiting artists and art educators from around the nation who share their work and insights and attend gallery openings.
