By Vianney Paul. Vianney is but one example of the painter-turned-potter archetype. After studying Painting and Printmaking at VCU in Richmond, VA, he gradually delved deeper into the world of ceramics, notably with a short apprenticeship at Dancing Dog Clayworks in Bellingham, WA and by taking classes at Hinckley Pottery in Washington, DC before settling in Baltimore. Vianney has been an active member of the Potters Guild of Baltimore since 2012 and has taught there since 2014. Vianney is a teacher at Baltimore Clayworks and an active member of the Monocacy River Pottery Group in Thurmont, MD. While particularly interested in wood firing, he has a curiosity and appreciation for all types of clays and firing techniques
