About Nancy Train-Smith
"I began working in ceramics in 1980 at Clay Dragon in East Cambridge, Massachusetts. After a short time there, Anne Smith and I moved to our own studio in Somerville, MA, and continued to work there for the following eight years. During that time I was working figuratively, specifically on a long series of self-portrait busts inspired by French 19th century sculpture. Eventually the self-portraits gave way to an exploration of the character of Eve as a kind of everywoman, and the work changed scale to a “figurine” approach. At the time there was an infatuation with teapots in the ceramic world, and I responded with tongue in cheek in a series of eccentric woman teapots. This extended body of ceramic work came to an end when I moved to South Dartmouth, MA."
