“I explore Afro-diasporic material culture, ancestral memory, adornment, and Black spiritual life through ceramics, glass, and textiles. .”
Angelique Scott is a Caribbean-American artist, educator, and activist whose work is rooted in familial traditions of care and craftsmanship. Her practice explores Afro-diasporic material culture, ancestral memory, adornment, and Black spiritual life through ceramics, glass, and textiles. She creates functional and decorative vessels and sculptural forms that operate as sites of ritual, reflection, and cultural remembrance through the lens of Afrocentricity and Africana womanism. Scott holds a BFA in Art Education and Craft & Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MFA in Ceramics from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture. She has completed national and international residencies including Haystack Mountain School of Craft, Vermont Studio Center, Penland, Arrowmont, Hambidge, Ibura Arts at Blue Light Junction, and the Skopelos Foundation in Greece. Formerly the youngest onsite liaison Board Member for the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, she co-organized the largest clay conference in the United States and developed community art festivals with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Scott’s work has expanded from studio-based sculpture into a socially engaged practice rooted in accessibility, education, and collective making. Scott currently facilitates ceramic and indigo workshops across the East Coast and maintains an active creative practice exploring spirituality and craft through material and cultural connections.
