Maxwell Holden

Originally from Maine, Maxwell Holden has always juggled several interests at once. This resulted in a career in the arts, the only department in school that permitted him to explore the folklore of trash and run kilns with Corning Glass engineers. He splits time between chemistry, microbiology, ceramics, drawing, and culinary projects. Max has taught higher education for seven years at schools such as Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati DAAP, and Bard College at Simons Rock, before going full-time into the ceramic industry in 2021. He moved to Vermont to help run the ceramics production at Simon Pearce and also reconcile with his bog ancestry. maxwellholdenceramics.com
