2022 Experimental Clay Residents

We are delighted to announce the 2022 UNM Experimental Clay Artists in Residence! They will be working in the Hand and Machine Lab during the summer of 2022. Our goal is to collaboratively explore integrations of ceramic craft with new technologies.

Jared Tso is a fourth generation Dine potter who currently resides in the Navajo nation. Jared received his MFA in Ceramics from the University of New Mexico in 2021. He also has an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering. This unique background has led Jared to a profound appreciation for balance and versatility. While focusing on Traditional Dine pottery techniques, he hopes to challenge the existing boundaries that confine the conversation of Native ceramics in the context of the past. Native peoples have always been innovators, often using traditional techniques as technologies.
