Ian Dennis
Ian Dennis is a North Carolinian from birth and Winston-Salien since 1990, growing up heavily involved in arts programming through the school system, Sawtooth, and SECCA. He graduated from UNCAsheville with a BFA concentration in ceramics in 2006, only to become a fiber artist almost immediately through a serendipitous apprenticeship with NC author/toymaker John Murphy. Since returning to Forsyth County in 2009, Dennis has operated independently, sometimes under the brand alias Denizens Plush, and continues to exhibit throughout the region.
