About Marcie:

Marcie Schwartzman grew up in Baltimore. While attending Johns Hopkins University as a Math Sciences major, she took ceramics classes at a community center whose teachers became co-founders of the well-respected Baltimore Clayworks. A move to Richmond, VA took her to graduate study in Industrial Engineering, and clay classes at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. After career and child-rearing, she returned to clay in the 1990’s and in 2003 was apprenticed to Sara Baker of Bloomsburg, PA. There, she honed her skills and developed her fascination with ceramic glazes.  A lifelong home sewer, she began to meld the two art forms into the work she is doing today.
