Nancy Selvage received a BA in Art History from Wellesley College and an MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts University. She held a long tenure as director of the influential Harvard Ceramics Center, just over the River Charles where generations of Harvard students and artists have experimented in clay. This work joins a tranche of studio craft teapots acquired in 2020 and demonstrates an innovative and playful approach to this primary formal experiment within the functional canon of ceramics.
