SCOTT B. YOUNG Scott is a ceramics artist/teacher who is known for his slab built Raku Boxes. He’ll use a paper box template that he designed and lay on a thin slab of clay to cut, fold, attach and construct together. He’ll invent parts for the handle(s) and feet from coil and/or slab pieces to complement his boxes. The boxes are inspired by the element of surprise when one opens a box and by an eclectic collection of Asian and Polynesian aesthetics. In some of Scott’s career highlights, he’s a frequent invited or juried artist in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally, some of which has garnered purchase and honorable mention awards. From 1992 to 2011, he was a nineteen consecutive year ceramics exhibitor in the Festival of Arts Pageant of the Masters; Summer Juried Art Show in Laguna Beach, CA. In his first summer, a large Raku box was selected as one of the purchase award recipients for the Festival’s permanent art collection. He’s a frequent guest workshop artist. One of the most notable workshops was at the Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, TN, where he was invited in 2009, 2001 & 1999. He organized two fundraisers, one if which was the “Mashiko Earthquake Appeal Fundraiser” in 2011, which featured a four artist demo, a Rice/Tea Bowl Silent Auction, a Shimpo Potters Wheel Raffle and a Kazegama Firing. The donations raised benefited the Mashiko ceramics community which suffered earthquake damages in Japan. Both fundraisers were held at Aardvark Clay and Supplies, Santa Ana, CA. He also was the curator of two Saddleback College ceramic invitational exhibitions, the most recent was titled “Clay Today: A Re-Visit”, a fourteen ceramic artist invitational in 2011. Scott is a native of Honolulu, HI and started his ceramics education in 1974 at Leeward Community College in Pearl City, HI. He transferred to California State University at Fullerton, Fullerton, CA in 1978 and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1981 and a Master of Arts degree in 1986, both with the emphasis in ceramics. Back in 1986 to 2016, he was fortunate to be hired as an adjunct ceramics instructor to teach beginning hand building and wheel throwing courses at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, CA. Through his teaching experience he has also taught intermediate and advance ceramic levels. In 1988, he was hired and continues teaching ceramics for the Emeritus Institute, which is a division of Saddleback College’s Community Education, Emeritus Institute and K-12 Partnerships. Scott has also taught as an adjunct ceramics instructor at Soka University of America in Aliso Niguel, CA and other community colleges in the Orange and San Diego Counties in Southern California. Scott currently resides in San Juan Capistrano, CA. with his 4 year old pet rabbit Maka. |

About our Mission
Hawaii Craftsmen celebrates fine craft as a vital and enriching part of contemporary life and supports the creative growth of our member artists and the education of the general public to the value of the crafts. We achieve our mission by increasing public awareness and appreciation of fine craft through community outreach and programs for craft artists. We provide opportunities for continuing education and regular exhibition of member work that supports and sustains a statewide community of craft artists. Our programs provide venues for shared experiences and communication and promote the organization and its members both within and without the State of Hawaii.
Our programs are designed for emerging and professional artists and craftsmen. They typically work with glass, metal, wood, fiber, clay or stone. Our members span generations from founding members (we have several Living Treasures on our roster) to students in art school. The raku program has a youth component and we have watched a generation of budding potters grow up. We take seriously our commitment to reach artist across the state and are the only arts organization to send our jurors to the neighbor islands to select work for our annual exhibition. We plan workshops on neighbor islands each year. On average, 20% or our membership (300+/-) are from the neighbor islands.
Our events are important to the community because they bring knowledge and skill to artists and audience across the Hawaiian Islands about craft in a variety of mediums. Our Annual Statewide Juried Exhibition is the ONLY exhibition that is truly statewide and includes all craft mediums. Our workshops and exhibits are highly anticipated by our members and supporters every year because of the professionalism of the instructors as well as the high quality of the craft exhibited. We strive to bring teachers and jurors from the mainland to bring fresh talents skills and perspectives to our islands. Everyone gains from the experience and it goes both ways Teachers and juror return home with a newly realized appreciation of the fine craft and passionate artists in Hawaii. This knowledge has sometimes opened up new venues for HC artists to exhibit and sell their work. Living so far from other counties and the mainland is important we do not succumb to insularity, but reach out and provide educational programs and exhibition to artist and the public all across Hawaii Art and creativity reach across languages cultures and people of all ages to generate conversion and provide fresh perspective
For our 2014 programs we provided 634 artist experiences to approximately 250 individual artists. Because our programs are at popular arts venues such as the Honolulu Museum of Art, we reached just over 20,000 members of the public.
