About

Megan Sprenger received her BFA in ceramics from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2016 and her MFA in studio art with an emphasis in ceramics from Montana State University in 2019. Megan taught for five years as an adjunct professor at MSU. In 2019, Megan joined two friends to open Bozeman Community Kiln in Bozeman, Montana. As the director of education, she developed curriculum and courses for all levels of experience. In addition, she took lead as a studio technician for the studio and was an instructor.

In 2022, Megan returned to her home state of Wisconsin and is currently the Arts/Industry pottery technician for the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. She is passionate about providing opportunities for people to enrich their lives with a new skill and a shared appreciation for the craft.

Her work is inspired by her love for traveling combined with the history of ceramics and the progression of sciences. She interweaves psychology, biology, and urban planning philosophies into her work. The use of historical ideology within ceramics and architectural and city planning is incorporated to introduce a more modern theme and encourage on conversation between the ceramic vessel and the viewer.

The imagery and surface details exemplify disorders, more precisely as the small particles of matter that change our perceptions within a variety of situations. These situations come across in the ways that the space we live in creates a phenomenological atmosphere, ultimately mirroring our own subconscious development.
