Carter Holliday Art Studio & Gallery, Floyd, VA
Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, Carter creates original hand crafted ceramic art tiles, which are intergrated with mosaics and American hardwoods to make decorative furnishings and accessories for the home and office.
Carter has more than 50 years of education and experience in ceramics. After getting his BA in Ceramics from Kansas City Art Institute he taught at University of Ohio in Athens while getting his Masters and beginning his life as a studio potter. After a few years, he felt the need for more education and received an AS in Glass Physics and Combustion Engineering from Hocking Tech. That degree led him to a 20 year stint with Florida Tile Industries as their Manager of Style and Design, where he worked with designers in the US and Europe.
In 2000, Carter began a new phase in his career when he moved his family to the mountains of Floyd Virginia. Today Carter works in both ceramics and wood in a studio overlooking a mountain meadow. When he's not in the shop - he's out in his garden getting inspired by the beauty around him.
