Fred Spaulding

Fred Spaulding received his MFA from the University of Connecticut and his BFA from California State University at Long Beach. He is currently Associate Professor of Art at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, TX. His work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad. Spaulding has participated in artist residencies at Watershed Center for Ceramic Art (ME), Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts (MT), and Penland School of Crafts (NC).

Spaulding’s primary mode of working is the construction of large-scale temporal assemblages from mixed media, often ceramic and metal. These constructions are intuitive, physical responses to contemporary life. In Arts/Industry, Spaulding created a new vocabulary of forms in iron and brass to use in his bundled, bound installations of bricks and other objects.
