Biography
Mary Bayard White, Bay Area sculptor, mixed disciplines artist, and educator, works in the realms of environmental and social justice, community arts, and place making. Her work is often collaborative and interdisciplinary.
Mary grew up in Haverford, Pennsylvania, the South Side of Chicago, Iowa corn fields, Indiana hills, Colorado Rocky mountains and England, as a daughter of a water resources geographer.
Mary earned a BFA 1970 in Spatial Arts: Ceramics, at California College of the Arts (formerly, California College of Arts & Crafts) in Oakland, studying with Ruth Tamura, Viola Frey and Marvin Lipofsky. Mary also built and maintained one of the first hot glass studios in the Bay area run by a woman, and after eight years, she left teaching high school art to earn her MFA in Glass and Painting at CCAC. She then taught for nineteen years at San Jose State University in the School of Art and Design, as leader and instructor for the Glass Area. She hosted many international artists, and created many outreach projects: including two California Glass Exchanges and the 1995 Oakland Glass Art Society meeting. She retired in 2005. From 2002-2012 she was co-head of the Crucible Glass program and helped build the glass studio and programming. She was also a Fulbright Scholar at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland from 2009-2010.
