Bruce Dehnert, Head of the Ceramics Department at Peters Valley Craft Center, was recently awarded a 2007 Individual Artist Fellowship. Mr. Dehnert is one of four artists working in Craft who were honored this year by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. The award, given biannually and administered by the Mid Atlantic Arts Association, is comprised of a monetary grant and exhibition in 2008 at a leading institution.
Dehnert, whose work is primarily utilitarian pottery, has headed the ceramics program at Peters Valley Craft Center in Layton, NJ since 1999. He has exhibited extensively in the United States and abroad, and is in numerous collections including The White House Collection in Washington, DC, the Yixing Museum of Ceramic Art in China, and the Dowse Museum in New Zealand.
