“Charles Smith: Black Hands/I am”

Charles Smith is a well-known and well-liked Mobile, AL, potter who began his career in the early 1970s: “I began studying art after a tour of duty in Vietnam, the trauma surrounding the war made me want to pursue the arts.”

Smith matured his interest in the arts by earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education with a minor in Pottery from Jackson State University in Jackson, MS. There he served as a Teacher Assistant to the late professor Marcus Douyon. Smith credits Douyon with providing a solid foundation of artistic discipline, skill, and vision that would help him grow into the artist he is today.

This catalog of his exhibition entitled “Black Hands/I am” includes 21 full-page color photos of Charles Smith’s ceramics.
