What is a ceramic artist called?
A ceramic artist can be called by a few different names. Ceramist, ceramicist and studio potter are some of the most common terms. It's also acceptable to simply refer to an artist who uses pottery as a medium simply as a ceramic artist. Those who produce pieces that have a functional use, such as drinkware or dinnerware, may also be called artisans. Find a large collection of ceramics on 1stDibs.
