Metamorphosis: New Works by Sasha Federer will be on display at the Hyman Fine Arts Center Gallery at Francis Marion University from May 7 - August 8. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday from 8:30am-5pm.
Sasha was born in Prague, Czech Republic. He came to the United States in 1972. For the last 40 years he has worked as a Psychologist, which is his profession, and for the last 38 years, worked as a potter, which is his passion. He studied ceramic art in the state of Washington and Wisconsin. He worked as professional studio potter for three years in New Hampshire and served as Artist in Residence with the National Endowment for the Arts.
Sasha and his wife, Tari Federer, built a ceramic art studio and the Running Horse Gallery in Florence, SC. Sasha has exhibited in galleries throughout the east coast. He had the opportunity to have two solo shows in addition to many group shows in Florence, SC. He collaborates, on many of his pieces with Tari, his wife, also an artist, and their shared pieces are signed Satari, which is a combination of both of their names.
Even though he works in all temperature firing ranges, his greatest enjoyment comes from working with high-fired porcelain, which brings out the beauty of colors. He creates all of his own glazes and enjoys the constant search for new colors, combinations, and textures for his surface decoration.
The Hyman Fine Arts Center Gallery is located at 4822 East Palmetto Street on the campus of Francis Marion University in Florence. For more information, call 843.661.1385.
Great artists! Beautiful work. I consider myself lucky to have some of their pieces in my home.
