Hunter Cady grew up in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. As the eldest son of Kathy Cady, a ceramic artist and teacher, Hunter drew upon his mother’s skill and passion and clay became an inseparable part of his life. His current work explores soda fired surfaces which inform the vessels he makes. He received his Bachelors in Fine Arts from Alfred University in 2020.
While at Alfred, he was awarded the Marcianne Maple Miller Fellowship to attend a summer workshop at Haystack in 2019. During his senior year he was honored with the Val Cushing Award. He is currently working as the Ceramics Studio Technician and teaching classes at the Berkshire Art Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
