Bio
Joe Singewald grew up in northeast Iowa where he discovered handmade pottery. He is a 2003 graduate from the University of Wisconsin–Rivers Falls and received a MFA from Utah State University. His utilitarian vessels have been in multiple exhibitions throughout the country, including NCECA Clay National, Strictly Functional Pottery National and Utilitarian Clay—Celebrate the Object. Singewald was a 2015 Jerome Ceramic Artist Project Grant recipient, facilitated by Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis. He lives and maintains a studio in Cold Spring, MN with his wife and three daughters.
Artist Statement
I believe in the power of handmade pottery. Ceramics has the ability to enrich the lives they serve, something that can’t be understood without experience. The pots I am continuously drawn to reveal subtle details of beauty over time and use. Ultimately, I hope a few of my pieces from each firing realize such a feat.
