Jasper Summers

Jasper Summers is a 23 year old artist from Providence Rhode Island. Growing up, he went to RISD for school field trips and summer classes, where he learned that modern craft is a viable and exciting life path. In high school he undertook his first apprenticeship with a professional potter and soon he was selling his own work at a local artisan market. He recently graduated from Pitzer College in Claremont CA, where he studied ceramics and furniture design, and has also been to the Haystack School of Craft as a fellow. This year at Cobb Mountain, he is thrilled to pick up knowledge around atmospheric firing and continue to make lots of tiny pots and a few much larger works.
