Aqua Phoenix by Sharif Bey, 2020 Honorary Artist
Sharif Bey is from Beltzhoover, a neighborhood on the south side of Pittsburgh. He first discovered ceramics as a teenager at Manchester Craftsmen's Guild. Sharif was an idea furnace artist in residence for over a year at PGC and produced a new body of work that included necklace forms like this one that incorporate glass and ceramics together. Sharif's recent accolades are too numerous to mention but include being part of the 2018 Renwick Invitational, having five pieces acquired by the Carnegie Museum of Art, and receiving the Pollock-Krasner Award. In this piece Aqua Phoenix Sharif incorporates several of his signature ceramic bead forms including a lustered bird with cast glass rings.
