Virginia Scotchie

Born: 1955, USA, Virginia, Portsmouth

Ceramicist. Virginia Scotchie was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA where her father served in the Navy. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1985 with a BFA in Ceramics, and later completed an MFA at Alfred University in New York.

Scotchie is a ceramic sculptor inspired by everyday objects such as a cup, a bowl, a funnel or her children’s toys. Both playful and thoughtful, her hand-built ceramic artworks ‘blur the lines between vessel and sculpture.’ Scotchie is currently Head of Ceramics at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina.

Scotchie exhibits her works extensively throughout the world and has been an artist in residence in Taiwan, Italy, Australia and The Netherlands. She was a demonstrator at the International Ceramics Festival in Aberystwyth in 2013.
