About the Juror
Martha Grover is a functional potter in Bethel, Maine who specializes in creating thrown and altered porcelain pieces that are reminiscent of orchids, flowing dresses, and the human body. Of her work, she says, “I seek to enhance the experience of interacting with functional objects. I work toward creating a sense of elegance for the user while in contact with each porcelain piece.”
Martha attended Bennington College in Vermont, where she received her undergraduate degree in Architecture. After going to Syracuse University in New York as a fifth year student in Ceramics, she decided to pursue a graduate degree in clay. In 2007, Martha received her MFA in Ceramics from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Following graduate school, Martha was awarded a number of short- and long-term fellowships and residencies at ceramic art centers including the Northern Clay Center (MN), Red Lodge Clay Center (MT), and the Archie Bray Foundation (MT).
Martha’s work can be found at the Red Lodge Clay Center, the Archie Bray Foundation, the Clay Studio of Missoula, Schaller Gallery, 18 Hands Gallery, Crimson Laurel Gallery, Charlie Cummings Gallery, and Cedar Creek Gallery. Her work has been published in Ceramics Monthly, Pottery Making Illustrated, Clay Times, 500 Pitchers, 500 Platters and Chargers, and 500 Vases.
