Please extend a warm welcome to Audrey An (audrey yoeun an), who is joining the Department of Art & Design as Assistant Professor of Ceramics!
Audrey An’s creative research explores the application of digital technologies in ceramics through the lens of convergence—cultural, technological, and interdisciplinary. Her work examines notions of home, the emotional weight of domestic space, and the materiality of memory through sculptural furniture, 3D-printed clay, and hybrid digital-analog processes.
An holds an MFA from Penn State University, a BFA from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and completed post-baccalaureate studies at Colorado State University. She was the 2022–24 Artist-in-Residence at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard and has participated in short-term residencies at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts and Alfred University. Her work has been exhibited at Gallery 224 at Harvard, the Palmer Museum of Art and the Blaffer Art Museum, among others.
An has recently taught at the Tyler School of Art + Architecture, Massachusetts College of Art & Design, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and others. Before joining ETSU, she served as Prototyping & Digital Fabrication Studio Manager and Teaching Artist at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, where she established a clay-centered digital fabrication studio and developed community-driven educational programming that expanded access to emerging technologies beyond traditional academic spaces.
