Molly Schulps saw the possibilities of clay at an early age through the lens of her father, who was a successful production potter and well respected in the field of ceramics. She went on to earn her MFA with distinction from California State University, Northridge. Molly has been primarily a ceramicist, although she also uses many other materials such as paint, wood, wax, wire, etc. Schulps was a part-time lecturer at various colleges and universities throughout Southern California, until 2004, when she started her full time journey at Cypress College where Molly overseas the ceramics program and was the Art Department Chair from 2015-2021. Molly retired from Cypress College and moved to Oregon full time in 2022. Schulps exhibits her work nationally and is in several permanent collections.
