In honor of the 50 Women Exhibit, we have conducted an interview with Tip Toland, one of the 50 very talented ceramicists involved in this exhibit.

Tip Toland earned her BFA in Ceramics at the University of Colorado. She later earned an MFA in Ceramics from Montana State University. Her sculptures are hyper realistic and often larger than life. Her striking work and unique talent were showcased in the 50 Women Exhibit.

It’s a great honor to be included. I think many more could have been included though I don’t actually hope to accomplish anything from being included except to show people my work.

As a female ceramicist, she brings a unique experience and point of view to the table.

My experience as a woman in the field has been multi-faceted. I am very grateful to have had exposure and been asked to show my work. There are still so many really deserving women whose work is so good whose work need to be seen. I hope perhaps this show can promote that to happen.
