Following a career teaching ceramics and clay sculpture at St. Edwards University in Austin, Stan and his wife, Vicki, relocated to Rockport, Texas where he set up Stan Irvin Unique Clay Works at 215 Water St.. His work has been included in numerous state, regional, and national juried competitions, as well as the Art of the Pot studio tour in Austin. Combining hand building, wheel throwing, and sculpture techniques Stan’s work has changed considerably since moving to the Texas coast in 2017. Elements of nature, and birds in particular, have found their way onto the surfaces of his vessels. Stan’s work may be seen at Austin Pottery Studio and Gallery in Austin, Wind Way Gallery in Rockport and at his gallery/studio in Rockport (by appointment).
