2026 Juror
Louise Rosenfield
bio
Louise Rosenfield is a Dallas, Texas, potter who enjoys playing with clay and making functional vessels for daily use. She prefers making her work from porcelain, which she either decorates with pattern and fires in a wood kiln, or applies colorful illustrations and fires in the electric kiln.
She proudly serves as a member of the Everson Museum of Art Board of Trustees, in Syracuse, New York, and the Archie Bray Foundation Board of Directors, in Helena, Montana. Rosenfield is also a founding organizer of the Dallas Pottery Invitational, an annual show and sale established in 2008 whose mission is to widen public knowledge about the breadth and depth of functional ceramics today.
In addition, Rosenfield has established a web site resource for scholars or others looking for inspiration, to see and appropriate images of functional pots she owns and uses. The website, rosenfieldcollection.com, offers several views of each work. High quality images may be downloaded and used without attribution. Currently over 4,000 works, all made by artists with individual studio practices, are available to examine.
Most recently, Rosenfield was selected to be a member of the Meadows
School of the Arts Executive Board at Southern Methodist University in
Dallas, Texas.
