Chase Kahwinhut Earles (Caddo)
Artist in Residence
Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts - Clay Studio

Caddo artist Chase Earles works in a traditional pottery method using hand-coiled clay that is wild harvested and hand-processed to form his vessels. Vessels are hand-burnished, decorated with scrolling designs and finally pit fired.  During his residency, in addition to providing artist talks to Levelland High School students, Earles will provide a 2-day hand-building workshop for TTU students and Lubbock area ceramists at the LHUCA Clay Studio in advance of the Texas Ceramics Symposium and conduct a pit-firing session during the final day of the Symposium.
