Lorna Meaden has lived in Durango off and on for almost 30 years. Having originally moved to town to go to Fort Lewis College, she has had many adventures in the local art scene along with intermittent moves to other places for education, artist residencies, and as much international travel as possible.
She has had multiple local studio spaces including her current home studio on the north end of town. She opened and ran the Durango Clay Center in the late 90’s-early 2000’s. She received her MFA in ceramics from Ohio University in 2005. She has completed several artist residencies in the west. She has been visiting faculty at San Juan College in Farmington, Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, and Fort Lewis College in Durango. Some of what she has considers her most fulfilling work has been teaching and learning abroad including time spent in Jamaica, Nicaragua, Nepal, Italy, and most recently Bali, Indonesia.
Lorna is currently a full-time studio potter in Durango.
Lorna is a member/owner in the cooperative Art Gallery in Durango, Colorado known as Studio & Gallery. If you are in the area and want to shop their collection of local artist’s work, stop by
