Cori Crumrine’s ceramic work is fueled by her sweet tooth, curiosity for color, and environmental concerns. Her small-scale confectionary forms explore the attractive and artificial qualities of food and how it engages the five senses. She is actively working to adopt a sustainable approach to making, aiming to repurpose plastic materials into her work.
Cori graduated with a BFA from Bowling Green State University before earning her MFA from the University of Montana, where she recognized her desire to pursue teaching. Cori has participated in assistantships and residencies at the Penland School of Craft, Künstlerhaus Stadttöpferei Neumünster, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and the New Harmony Clay Project. She is currently a resident artist and instructor at Queen City Clay and teaches ceramics at Miami University. Her go-to studio tools are an x-acto knife, metal rib, & watercolor brushes.
