Doug
Bringle joined Crealdé School of Art’s faculty in 2001. Currently he teaches
adult handbuilding classes, children's clay classes, ArtCamp classes, and
offers an adult/child workshop at the end of each session. He also organizes
the Crealdé Spring and Holiday Art Sales, which allow faculty, alumni and
advanced students the opportunity to show and sell their best work to the
public. Occasionally he conducts corporate retreat clay projects.
Artist Statement
Doug is influenced by
pre-Columbian forms, particularly Maya, Moche and Nazca. He also admires the
bold, graphic art of the peoples of the Northwest Coast, Japanese Jomon and
Chinese jade and bronze forms. His clay work is hand-built. Sea themes are
featured in many of his pieces, reflecting his birth on a small Atlantic
island in the Azores. His pieces are available at the Orlando Museum of Art
Gift Shop, as well as at Crealdé's Selections shop in the campus office. His
artwork is also part of the permanent collection of the Maitland Art Center.
Doug Bringle, Senior
Faculty in Ceramics, is a graduate of
the University of Florida and a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
