Description
The Alcorn Family Ceramics Scholarship was established in 2013 by Trish and Gary Alcorn. Gary Alcorn’s passion for the arts began early in life and was encouraged by his mother, Madelyn Alcorn. They shared a particular interest in ceramics and one of Gary’s fondest memories of his mother was her love of slip casting. Many years later, as a building service worker in the clay studios, Gary observed the enthusiasm displayed by the students and was impressed by their high level of dedication. With the encouragement and guidance of the ceramics students, Gary soon learned to work with clay and throw on the potter’s wheel. Gary’s interest in giving back to support these committed students led to the establishment of The Alcorn Family Ceramics Scholarship.
