Kip O'Krongly

 Kip O’Krongly received her B.A in studio art from Carleton College in 2001. She continued her study of  clay in studios across the country working as an apprentice in    Montana, setting up her own studio in  Seattle, and managing the clay program at  Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. Upon returning to Minnesota in  2008, Kip moved into the  studios at Northern Clay Center and in 2009 became the NCC Studio Technician,  received  a Fogleberg emerging artist grant, and began teaching classes. Her current work uses  earthenware clay with slips and hand cut stencils to explore her interest in the intersection of food  production, energy use and transportation issues.
