We are proud to present our annual "Luminaries in Clay" feature – a series devoted to honoring the lives and legacies of those who have illuminated new ways of making, thinking, or living through clay. They are not only masters of material and form but also generous contributors to the community, advancing ceramics through innovation, mentorship, storytelling, or stewardship of tradition. This installment celebrates the unforgettable Ron Meyers, whose generous character will leave a lasting legacy through pots that are as loose, lively, and deeply human as the man himself.
Through this evolving series, we pay tribute to ceramic artists whose stories deserve to be preserved and shared. If you have a nomination for a future luminary, we invite you to email our editor at editor@studiopotter.org.
As we celebrate these remarkable individuals, we also celebrate Studio Potter’s own legacy – over fifty-two years of publishing critical, heartfelt, and enduring reflections on ceramic practice. To help us continue this work for years to come, we kindly ask that you consider making a donation today.
Studio Potter is the home of pioneers, storytellers, and community-builders who have transformed the world of clay through their presence and practice.
