Catherine Vincent MS C&I: Special Education, MA Ceramics. Working artist and Art Educator

Catherine attended Frederick Community College as an Art Major from 2001-2005, then transferred to Towson University to pursue Art Education. While at Towson, Catherine focused on Drawing and Painting and secondary education. After graduating Summa cum Laude in 2008, Catherine was hired as an art teacher at Urbana Middle School in FCPS Maryland.

In 2009, Catherine began teaching adapted art at Rock Creek School, a 3-21 special education school in FCPS. Catherine developed the adapted art curriculum for the program and acted as  consultant to all art teachers in FCPS on adapting art for all learners, including annual workshops for new hires. Catherine began pursuing a Masters in Special Education at Hood College in 2011.

In 2014, Catherine returned to Urbana Middle School as an art teacher, and completed a MS in Curriculum and Instruction: Special Education in 2015. Her capstone project used classroom-based research on management strategies in the art studio environment to increase artistic production and engagement from ADHD students with 504 plans in art class.

In 2016, Catherine began incorporating ceramics into her art units and lessons and taught herself how to fire an electric kiln by reading the manual cover to cover. Thankfully, she began taking graduate Ceramics courses at Hood College in 2018. In 2023, Catherine began teaching Ceramics full time at Urbana High School. 

Catherine will complete her MA in Ceramics with a final exhibition at Hood College in Spring 2026

Tiny pots, planters, & mugs. . Skulls and flowers are a motif that is tied to my artist's statement for my MA Show, Lifecycles: Pillars of Growth. . The garden is a metaphor for life itself. Growth can not occur without death, and there is beauty and growth in every season of life. Zinnias and roses represent immortality. Marigolds are the flowers of the dead. I include themes like music and decorative items to bring some levity to my work. . All of these are for sale, and a few are listed on my site (which needs updating).I'll be offering these in person as well. More later! . . . . #frederickmdartist #ceramics #brunswickmdartist #artistsofmaryland #brunswickmdart #artistsoninstagram #wheelthrownpottery #pottersofinstagram #pottery #skullartwork #gardenart

A big, beautiful flower pot can be hundreds of dollars. Now I can make and fire them myself, and each load gets better. .

Testing always takes forever, but hopefully, you get a few favorites! I think I like the dark red clay results the best!! Surprise! This is why you always test glaze AND clays. . More later... I have a lot in the kiln and on my easel, whilst also enjoying my summer with family and friends. Glaze firing in a few days, including my Spring Child bust! . #ceramics #glazetest #artistsofmaryland #artistsoninstagram #amacoglazes #pottersofinstagram #brunswickmdartist #frederickmdartist #microbusiness

I've got work in the kiln, and glaze is drying on wares. Time for music! . Today, I rearranged my music media (not pictured: many hundreds of CDs). I got a new receiver and connected both turntables--a silver one my mom gave me decades ago, and an awesome Yellow Submarine one from a friend. . I've been so busy with art teaching and graduate school for 2 years now that I have been neglecting my music and guitar playing for a long time... I'm planning to change that! . . . #punkrock #blitz #againstallauthority #vinylcollection #brunswickmdart #frederickcreatives #recordshop
I am testing glaze combos and techniques on 4 different clay bodies: Standard 181 throwing clay, Standard 553 Buff all purpose clay, Standard 214 Red throwing clay, Standard 420 sculpture clay. There is no way to know how glazes will look in each firing, much less on different clay, so I test on tiny tiles and stamp them to differentiate the clay bodies. I use an underglaze pencil to number each set of samples, and each set gets the same treatment. I record everything and document firing schedules, peeps out, and locations in the kiln. I actually LOVE this process, I wish it didn't take so long. . . #chemistry #glazechemistry #ceramist #ceramics #artistsoninstagram #brunswickmdartist #frederickcreatives #frederickmdart #ceramicglaze #amacoglazes #speedballunderglaze #midnightceramics
