Tina Holl-Nolan has made pottery her career for thirty years. After attending Swain school of design where she focused on painting, Tina spent a number of months intensively working with the clay medium at her father’s studio in the early 1970’s. Her attention to the construction of slab and hand built coil pots gave way to working on the wheel. Her proficiency in both approaches is evident in the diversity of her work today.
After apprenticing at Scargo, Tina opened her own pottery studio in Dennis in 1972. Tina was not only responsible for the shops inventory, but the clay and glaze mixing, as well as loading and firing the kiln. Her fathers studio up the street was hardly a hindrance, and a literal kinship was created between the two galleries. After successfully running the shop for eleven years, Tina elected to return to Scargo in 1983.

While her independence had its benefits, so did the community atmosphere of Scargo, where Harry’s expertise and advice were always at hand, as well as the inspirational energy of the studio. An ever-changing crop of apprentices and a sister or two always provided a provocative dynamic.
Throughout the years Tina has participated in programs to hone her own skills, as well as to teach others. She has studied painting with artist Sam Feinstien and attended drawing workshops at both The Cape Cod Conservatory and The Cape Museum of Fine Arts. She has taught mask and hand building workshops at Truro Center for the Arts as well as The Cape Museum of Fine Arts and the Cape Conservatory. She has also instructed in the ceramics department of Cape Cod Technical High School and Cape Cod Academy. |
