Bio
Eva Funderburgh is a Seattle-based sculptor with a Bachelor’s of
Science and Art from Carnegie Mellon University. After earning her
degree in 2005, she returned to her birthplace of Seattle, Washington
where she found her voice through working in ceramics, drawn to its
mix of control and unpredictability. Her love of these aspects of clay
are especially seen through her choice to wood fire her ceramic
sculptures, a communal process that produces unique results. In 2010,
she was honored to be an artist in residence in Denmark at the
Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Center, an experience
that inspired her to revisit interest in public installation work
which she had begun to developed during her studies.
After the residency, Eva was selected to attend Seattle’s Office of
Arts and Culture Public Art Boot Camp in 2015. This experience along
with the residency expanded the scope of her work to include
installation and bronze casting in addition to continuing to develop
and push the boundaries in her work in ceramics. She now teaches
bronze casting part time at Pratt Fine art Center and is a full time
sculptor working in public art, installation, ceramics, and cast
bronze. In 2019 she was delighted to return to Guldagergaard for a
second residency to help further her practice.
In 2023 after 18 years of wood firing, she decided to build her
own kiln. She designed and built a 16ft long trail kiln, funded
through an extensive and successful crowdfunding campaign. After a
year of building, the kiln is nearly complete, with a first firing
planned for Spring 2024.
