McGee Gallery
Malcolm Davis (1937–2011) was an internationally recognized ceramic artist who
maintained a studio for more than 25 years in Upshur County, West Virginia. He
discovered ceramics later in life and became a successful potter and teacher renowned
for developing a Japanese-style glaze widely known as “Malcolm Davis Shino.” Featuring
more than 70 objects on loan from private collections, this exhibition celebrates
Davis’ artistic commitment to both beauty and function through a diversity of forms
designed for everyday use.
Made possible with generous support from Judith Davis.
