About Jackson:

Jackson Shaner is a ceramic artist whose figurative sculptures capture energy, emotion, and storytelling. He is most widely known for his vessels that transform clay into fabric, with trapped figures pushing their way out. Shaner’s work blends technical craft with personal narrative, often drawing from feelings of otherness, dark aesthetics, and visions of the otherworldly.

Shaner attended Furman University for his bachelor’s degree in Studio Art. There, he completed a teaching fellowship and began pursuing his career as an artist and educator. He then completed an artist residency at the New Harmony Clay Project, and has assisted workshops at Penland and Arrowmont Schools of Craft.

Jackson Shaner has shown work across the United States and will exhibit at the 2026 NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) conference in Detroit Michigan. Currently, he is working towards completing his MFA thesis at the University of South Carolina. Shaner also does freelance work, and teaches classes and workshops at clay studios whenever possible.
