CREATORS

* Thelma Frazier Winter (American, 1908–1977)  - artist
Frazier grew up in New Philadelphia, Ohio, and studied ceramics with Julius Mihalik at the Cleveland School of Art, graduating in 1929. In the late 1920s she and sculptor Waylande Gregory worked at Cowan Pottery as the firm’s principal artists. She first exhibited in the 1934 May Show at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and continued to do so until 1949. She showed in the annual National Ceramic exhibitions in Syracuse, New York (1935–58), where in 1939 she became the first woman to win a first place award. After a post graduate study in art education at Western Reserve University in Cleveland and Ohio State University, she began teaching in Cleveland public schools. In 1939 the Little Gallery of Cleveland College mounted an exhibition of her works. That year she married the enamelist Edward Winter, whom she had met at Cowan Pottery. She continued to paint and work with clay until the late 1950s, garnering several large-scale ceramic commissions from churches and schools. In 1958, under her husband’s influence, Winter took up enameling, and collaborated with him on a number of enamel mural commissions in the 1960s and 1970s. <br><em>Transformations in Cleveland Art.</em> (CMA, 1996), p. 241<br>Biographical information exists in the Cleveland Museum of Art Archives.
