Ian Buchbinder [2011, Ceramics / MA 2012, Teaching]

Ian strives to create lighthearted, joyful ceramics that are sturdy enough for daily use. He is fascinated by process and repetition and enjoys discovering subtle ways to refine his craft. Each piece is handmade, on the potter’s wheel or by slab building, and hand painted, ensuring they all have a unique personality. Ian believes handmade ceramics are important because they can facilitate meaningful connections between people and their environments. A favorite mug can make a mundane routine into a treasured moment.
