“Karen Karnes (Nov 17, 1925–Jul 12, 2016) was a ceramic artist who lived and worked in NYC. She is recognized for her wheel thrown pieces, salt glazed pottery and her lidded casserole dishes. She attended BK College where she graduated with a major in design. She then traveled to Italy where she concentrated on her ceramics practice in Sesto Fiorentino, and learned how to use the potter’s wheel. Karnes later returned to NY where she started a graduate program at Alfred University to continue her study of ceramics. By 1952, Karnes, alongside her husband, David Weinrib, had a two-year residency at Black Mountain College where they studied and worked alongside artists John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and Peter Voulkos. By 1954, Karnes refined her craft and decided to relocate to Stony Point, NY, where she and her husband established the Gate Hill Cooperative.”
