Edwin Scheier

Edwin Scheier (1910 - 2008) was active/lived in New Hampshire, Arizona / Puerto Rico, Mexico.  Edwin Scheier is known for Ceramics, sculpture, painting, teaching.

A pioneer in the techniques of glazes for modern studio pottery and a long-time art teacher, Edwin Scheier, working with his wife, Mary Goldsmith Scheier, was known for utilitarian pots highlighted by skillfully applied glazes.  With him creating and applying the glazes to forms made by Mary, the couple worked side by side most of their married life.  Many of their thrown pots had themes of birth and rebirth in humans and animals. In addition to pottery, they made small sculptures from local clay, and some of these pieces resembled Sung Dynasty-era pottery. 

Edwin Scheier was born in New York City in the Bronx to an American mother and Jewish German father.  The father died when Edwin was very young, which left the family struggling financially.  He dropped out of high school in order to earn money but later studied art in New York City at the Art Students League and Columbia University and attended free seminars at Cooper Union.
