J. SHELDON CAREY
A distinguished and innovative potter, Sheldon Carey was a true pioneer for ceramics. Preferring to create tall, slender pots, Carey invented the Upside-Down Wheel. The Upside-Down Wheel eased the creation of his art by using the force of gravity instead of working against it. Carey also was an innovator in clay lubricant, abandoning the traditional water, preferring Separan 20, a synthetic polymer. A professor for 32 years at the Department of Design, Carey was revered for his intellectual curiosity and professional innovation and creation. This reputation still survives him, as he passed away in November 2000.
