ARTIST INTERVIEWS

Artist Spotlight: David Peterson

6/24/2016

0 Comments

 
The “Artist Spotlight” is on Savannah Clay Community member, David Peterson, and in this interview, he shares his forty-year perspective of making ceramics in Savannah. Dave is a clay artist, instructor of ceramics at City of Savannah Department of Cultural Affairs and the President of Peterson Marine Surveys. We traveled to his lovely home and studio near the water in Thunderbolt to talk about a few of his passions: boats and ceramics. 

Dave is a native of Beverly, Massachusetts–about an hour north of Boston. He grew up there until his family moved to South Florida, when he was twelve. Dave’s father was originally from Maine, so the family would always make the journey back north during the summer. Dave remembers spending that time playing with boats. He says, “Maine is a real fishing community. They used dories (boats with narrow, flat bottom, high bow and flaring sides) for fishing and pulling nets in and stuff like that, but mostly lobster fishing. These boats were iconic watercraft years ago, but when I was kid they were kind of phasing these out.”
