Richard Burkett's Biography
Richard Burkett has been a ceramist for over 35 years, starting with a ten-year career as a studio potter, running the Wild Rose Pottery in central Indiana. He earned his BA in Art from Lawrence University, and his MFA in 1986 from Indiana University-Bloomington in both ceramics and photography. After teaching three years at the University of Wisconsin-Madison he moved to San Diego State University in 1989 where he is currently a Professor of Art. His work hovers between pottery and sculpture. Some pieces move in a sculptural direction, yet still derive some of their form from vestiges of more functional work. His work has been shown in many exhibitions in the U.S. and internationally. He is the author of HyperGlaze software for glazes and the co-author with Glenn Nelson of the popular textbook Ceramics: A Potter's Handbook, 6th edition. He recently curated and co-wrote the text for Porcelain Masters: major works by leading ceramists published by Lark Books.
