David Funk

Medium: Ceramic Artist
Residency: January 1, 2002–
January 1, 2003

David Funk is a ceramist who has great respect for both the tradition of craft and functional pottery. “The pots I make are intended to speak about the dynamic of function and tactile enjoyment. Anyone who drinks coffee everyday will talk about their favorite mug–my work is about that.” Funk has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Utah State University.
