Morgan McCarver

Morgan was born and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Some of her fondest memories are of learning how to sew and model clay from her grandmothers. She loved to help sew historical costume dresses for herself and her dolls. Learning these skills through the tradition of passing on teaching through the generations has carried through her life and inspired her work. She received an art degree with a ceramics concentration and a double minor in art history and business in 2019 from Anderson University in Anderson, SC. Morgan had the honor of receiving the 2019 Outstanding Art Major Ceramics Award her senior year. As a 2020 701 Center for Contemporary Art prize finalist, she had the honor of being the youngest artist to ever make it that far. Her first solo exhibition FemininiTEA in July of 2020 was a success despite the pandemic and she is preparing for her second solo exhibition to be held March-May 2022. She currently is producing work, exploring new styles, techniques and themes. She also is studying as an apprentice under Tori Motyl, the artist of Motyl Pottery. She works for Motyl part time as Online Retail Shop Manager and Studio Assistant. McCarver has studios in Asheville, NC and Spartanburg, SC. Her art can be found in various galleries around North and South Carolina.
