Let us welcome the final artist of the 2026-27 Artist-in-Residence cohort is ✨Maddie Gage✨! Madeline (Maddie) Gage is a ceramic artist from Concord, Massachusetts. After her introduction to clay in high school, she became enthralled with the medium and went on to pursue ceramics after graduation. She received her BFA in Studio Arts with a concentration in ceramics from Syracuse University in 2024. Upon receiving her degree, she has worked as an intern at Truro Center for the Arts in Truro, Massachusetts, as well as for the Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, Massachusetts. She has taught several adult ceramics classes and youth classes in the greater Boston area while pursuing her practice.
Maddie’s work integrates intricate surface designs inspired by headstones and antique embellishments with her pottery to create functional pieces of art to be used in daily life. Through additive and subtractive processes, she builds up surfaces through soft altering and slip trailing, while using trimming, carving, and line weight variation to work subtractively, resulting in complex, layered pieces that make up her signature aesthetic.
Be sure to say hello and give our new AIRs a warm welcome as they settle into our community!
