David Shaner
Ceramicist
American, (1934–2002)
The Montana-based potter, David Shaner, received his Bachelor of Science from Kutztown University in 1956 and an Master of Fine Arts from Alfred University in 1959. After a brief unsatisfying stint at teaching in Illinois, Shaner headed west to take on the role of director of the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana. He was instrumental in establishing the Bray’s longevity and contributions to the region. Shaner passed away in 2002 of liver diseased, likely caused by exposure to minerals in glazes that he mixed by hand.
