    Overview

    Jennifer Graff received her B.F.A. from Alfred University and her M.F.A. from the University of Georgia. She has been teaching at UNG since 2004 and specializes in various clay processes including hand building, wheel-throwing, mold-making, firing techniques and glaze chemistry. She enjoys the diverse student population and strives to provide a meaningful and engaging environment for her students.

    Jennifer's research has explored both functional and sculptural processes, and typically includes figurative elements. Her current work depicts characters whose interactions aim to be humorous, but quietly confront less flattering human tendencies. Her academic contributions include work with UNG's LEAP initiative, service in the Honors Program, and curricular development for Visual Arts.

    Jennifer has received the Teaching Excellence Award (Tenure-Track), the Featherbone Communiversity’s Masters in Teaching: Life Changers at Work Award, and was a two-time Presidential Academic Innovation Awardee. She was chosen to participate in the Governor's Teaching Fellowship program at the Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia
