ABOUT REN LEE:
I’ve been working with clay since 2005, when I took a class at Sunset Canyon Pottery in Texas for a fun thing to do. Before that, I spent a fair amount of time as a marketing and branding wonk for restaurants and specialty foods. Before that, I worked as a graphic designer. Along the way, I got an MFA in design and a PhD in Advertising, Marketing, Cultural Anthropology and Consumer Psychology. That’s a mouthful of academe and as soon as I finished the ordeal of writing my dissertation I escaped into the relatively more satisfying world of entrepreneurship where I roller coastered through owning an orchard, a packing company and running a specialty crop association for a while. You never know what will lead you to something new and interesting, but I have to admit that everything I ever studied, and everything I ever did is useful and applicable to what I do now: transforming mud into something with presence and attitude.
