Pam Brock grew up in rural Cabarrus County,
North Carolina on a 200 acre
farm. Many hours of her childhood were spent on the bare
back of her sorrel quarter horse, Dylan. From an early
age, she enjoyed drawing and painting. Her natural
ability to assimilate visual information from many
sources brings variety to her work.
After completing preliminary work at
the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, Pam
transferred to East Carolina University in Greenville,
NC. There she studied in various media with a focus on
fiber arts.
From 1987 to 1997,
Pam owned and operated a
graphic arts business where she developed brochures,
newsletters, advertising and other publications for
customers in the Carolinas. In 1998, Pam decided to
focus full time again on her fine arts pursuits by
enrolling in the ceramic arts class
at Gaston College. In 2002, she entered the ceramics
program at Western Piedmont
Community College where she received a 2 year degree
in Professional Craft: Pottery.
She continued
her work and study with workshops
and courses under master potters Ben Owen III,
Michael Sherrill, Pete Pinnell, Kathy
Triplett, Lana Wilson,
Scottie Fox, Paula
Smith, Doug Knotts.
She also studied with 2-D
artists Jean Cauthen, Vae Hamilton, Kate Worm
, and Pat Viles .
Today, Pam's home
is filled with works in, oil, acrylics, clay and
fiber arts as well as a growing collection of pottery
from other ceramic artists.
