Shannon Irvin
Shannon Irvin was born and raised in South
Carolina where she
attended Clemson University and received a BFA in Ceramics in
2012. She began her teaching career in Maine, where she taught
children’s ceramics before moving to Manhattan. Shannon’s work
is largely sculptural. She uses both thrown and hand built forms to
create interactive interpretations of the built environment and the
urban landscape around her. Much of her inspiration comes from
childhood memories, cultural trends, and architecture. Today, she
is living her dream of teaching and making work in NYC.
