Bio
Meg Howton began her young career making mud pies in the iron-rich Alabama clay. Howton received an award at the ripe old age of 6 for showing creativity by spinning a q-tip® while painting a plate of the paper variety. This set her sights on a career in the art world, so she attended The University of Alabama where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and Photography in 2015. She then relocated to Gainesville, Florida where she completed her post-baccalaureate at the University of Florida in 2018. Meg attended Southern Illinois University where she received her Master of Fine Arts. She now is a full-time instructor of ceramics at The University of Alabama. Meg has received awards such as the Alabama Clay Conference Student Scholarship and received the Wingate Grant in 2019. She has been a long-term resident at Hope Center of Art and Technology in Sharon, Pennsylvania and a short-term resident at Red Lodge Clay Center and Watershed.
