Timeline
Michelle Gregor (born 1960, USA) is a San Francisco-based figurative sculptor.
She works in mid-fire stoneware ceramic and porcelain.
Gregor was born in San Francisco and raised in Tahoe City, California by a family supportive of her academic exploration in the liberal arts.
She holds a BFA in Studio Art from University of California, Santa Cruz in 1983, where she studied printmaking, ceramics, Eastern religion and French Symbolist poetry.
After undergraduate school, Gregor conducted informal studies in ceramics through extensive travel abroad.
In 1994, she received her MFA in Ceramics from San Francisco State University, where she studied under sculptor Stephen DeStaebler.
Gregor is known for her abstracted human figure sculptures, featuring complex layers of underglaze and glaze and occasionally metallic lusters.
Gregor builds her forms out of solid clay, then slices them open with a strong wire to enable hollowing as the clay enters its dryer 'leather hard' stage.
She then reassembles the pieces for drying and kiln firing.
Each piece endures as many as seven or eight firings, giving them their characteristic liquid, yet hard surfaces.
Her works, some up to life-size in scale, convey a sense of balance and mass, seemingly on the edge of flight.
Despite their grandiosity, Gregor's figures often carry a humility, a restraint in gesture and expression.
Gregor has been called a 'descendant' of sculptors as diverse as Robert Arneson, Peter Voulkos and Viola Frey, and is considered an important second-generation sculptor in the Bay Area Figurative Group, succeeding artists such as Manuel Neri and Stephen DeStaebler.
Gregor is a tenured Professor of Art and head of the ceramics program at San Jose City College, where since 2002 she has taught ceramics, sculpture and 3-D design.
She has held sculpting the human figure in clay workshops at Office for the Arts at Harvard, Mendocino Arts Center, Berkeley Potters' Studio, and Sierra Nevada College, among other colleges and art centers across the United States.
She has instructed ceramic sculpture workshops abroad at Estudio Paloma in San Miguel de Allende, MX, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Fellow ceramic artists from the United States and Mexico teaching at Estudio Paloma include Tip Toland, Esther Shimazu, Adrian Arleo and Claudia Olds Goldie.
