About
Eric Dolgins is a ceramic artist and teacher, having taught ceramics at both the Chelsea Ceramics Guild and DGR Studio@ Tribeca Potters in New York City.
Dolgins also collaborates with his life partner, painter Michael Eade. Dolgins and Eade paint Eade’s intricate landscapes in underglazes onto the surfaces Dolgins throws specifically for the collaboration. Every work they create fascinates them when it is finally removed from the kiln. The hand painted underglazes and clay bodies they choose transform interpretations of Eade’s landscapes with delightful outcomes. Together Dolgins and Eade exhibit their collaborative ceramic works.
As a native New Yorker Dolgins was born and raised in Manhattan. He received a B.S. in Art from Skidmore College. Following his interest in art and art history, Dolgins studied for a year in Florence, Italy with Syracuse University. Dolgins later retuned to Italy and interned at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.
Dolgins lives and works in New York City.
