Carol Ventura

Carol Ventura has an MA in ceramics, an MFA in printmaking, and a PhD in Art. She taught ceramics, photography, printmaking, silversmithing, enameling, basketry, tapestry crochet, and weaving before becoming the art historian at Tennessee Technological University in 1994.

Always a maker, Carol now pursues her bliss full time in the studio. Her current work taps on skills and imagery developed while a student, now expressed in glass.
