Breana Hendricks  has Master of Fine Arts candidate in Studio Art at the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. A ceramic artist from the Bronx, NY, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the State University of New York at New Paltz.  In 2017, Breana was granted the Windgate Fellowship Award, granting the opportunity to travel across the continental United States and Jamaica in order to research the role of pottery in Caribbean history. She travelled to craft communities like  Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and Arrowmont School of Crafts to research traditions of utility and continue learning methods and processes in making and decorating pottery. She most recently completed a two-year Westchester Community Foundation’s Young Artist fellowship at Clay Art Center in Portchester, NY teaching afterschool programs, weekend family workshops, and  community-building outdoor mosaic programs in various schools and festivals in Westchester, NY.  She looks forward to bringing community arts programming though teaching pursuits.
