About Me
Vida Collery received a BFA in ceramics from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1972 and has been happily making art ever since. In 1976, she moved to Seattle and began exploring different opportunities to make art in the Pacific Northwest. Vida studied at the Factory for Visual Arts and Pratt before returning to the University of Washington in 1994 for her second BFA in Printmaking and Painting. Additionally, Vida is a creative and talented chef and with her husband owns and operates “In Celebration Catering”. Vida teaches cooking classes locally where she inspires others with her love for making memorable, delicious and beautiful meals.
Vida joined Seward Park Clay Studio as a resident artist and her primary interests have been low-fire functional and sculptural ceramics, for the table.Creating the perfect serving piece is one expression in Vida’s ceramic work. Hand built- frequently elaborately painted, often with a lively sense of the humor or just plain rustic functionality.
