About the Juror
Brett Freund is a ceramic artist living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After a residency at St. Petersburg Clay Company in Florida, he earned his MFA from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2011. After school, he was a Lormina Salter Fellow at Baltimore Clayworks, and in 2012 Ceramics Monthly named him an Emerging Artist. In 2018, he was awarded one of two prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Ceramic Artists grants.
Brett’s work incorporates color, sketching, and repetition. He intuitively constructs his pieces from slip-cast parts. The result is a single product that communicates preciousness, but is manipulated with a psychotic energy. Although he is essentially using prototypes and reproducible parts, he creates decorative objects with personal, interior spaces.
