Roda E. Selleck (September 6, 1848 – November 15, 1924) was an American painter and art instructor.
[2] By the 1890s she had won recognition for introducing "craftwork" – leather, pottery, jewelry, and metalwork – into the curriculum.
[1] So dedicated was she to ceramic work that she would often remain at the school until the early morning hours minding the kiln.
[2] For ten years Selleck taught at the Herron Art Institute's summer school at Winona Lake, Indiana; she later collaborated with the Pratt Institute to develop a public school art curriculum, and she spent some time on the board of the directors of the Herron Art Institute.
[2] Among Selleck's pupils were the artists Janet Payne Bowles[3] and Ada Walter Shulz.
