ceramic artist

Clay sculpture maker

A ceramic artist is someone who creates art from clay and other ceramic materials—pottery, sculpture, tiles, or decorative objects.

The term emphasizes artistic intent over purely functional craft, distinguishing fine art ceramics from industrial or utilitarian production: She trained as a ceramic artist but pays the bills making dinnerware.
