Ceramicist

A ceramicist is a skilled craft artist who designs, shapes, and fires clay objects ranging from functional pottery to decorative sculptures. Working in studios, galleries, or educational settings, ceramicists use techniques such as wheel throwing, hand-building, and slip casting to create unique pieces. They mix glazes, operate kilns, and refine their craft through continuous experimentation. In the US, ceramicists may sell work independently, teach workshops, or collaborate with design firms.
