Harrison Levenstein currently lives in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts and works as the artist in residence and lab technician at the Bard College at Simon’s Rock. He makes pottery that is most often fired with wood, and is collected, exhibited, and used both domestically and abroad. He teaches classes in clay and workshops on wood-firing. He completed an eight-month internship with Peter Olsen, a wood-fire potter in Washington, followed by an 18-month apprenticeship under wood-fire potter Simon Levin in the Midwest. From February through June of 2019, he was an artist-in-residence at the Golden Bridge Pottery in Pondicherry, India, where he spent time learning new techniques, experimenting with local materials, and firing their anagama with the locally cultivated casuarina wood. More musings to be found in his blog, Chop Water, Carry Wood, and his Instagram account @harrison_lev.
