Matthew Schiemann is a second-generation potter that grew up watching and helping his
dad create ceramic works. This early exposure taught Matt to appreciate the handmade
object and eventually to choose the field of ceramics for himself. He received his
Bachelors of Arts in Sculpture and Ceramics from Ashland University in 2005 and his
Masters of Fine Arts in Ceramics at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2009.
While in graduate school, Matt worked as Harris Deller’s personal assistant and as a
Teaching Assistant for the wheel throwing and industrial design courses. During this
time, he began building his own body of work focused on functional pottery fired in
atmospheric kilns.
After graduating from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Matt was accepted as an
artist in residence at the St. Petersburg Clay Company. Shortly after being accepted as
A.I.R. Matt became an adjunct professor at Eckerd College for PEL program’s ceramics
department. In October of 2010, Matt became co-owner/director of the St. Petersburg
Clay Company. Matthew is now currently the manager for the St. Pete Clay Artist in
Residence Program at the Morean Center for Clay and is an adjunct professor at St.
Petersburg College.
