Ted served as professor and chair of The State College of Florida, Bradenton and also taught in the Summer Six art program at Skidmore College. Upon retirement from The State College of Florida, Ted was named Resident Artist, "which means that while the responsibilities and the paycheck will be gone, he gets to stick around to use the department's equipment while returning his attention to his art." His work is currently on exhibit at L'attitude Gallery, Boston, Symmetry Gallery, Saratoga Springs and Craftsman HouseGallery, St. Petersburg, FL. In addition, Ted is currently on the Board of Directors at Artcenter Manatee where he also teaches ceramics classes. We are very pleased to have Ted here to lead this workshop.
