BIOGRAPHY 

Bob Clyatt makes figurative sculptures using stoneware or porcelain, fired using various methods including raku firing.

He often incorporates 20^th century technology including custom polymers and 3D printing.

Clyatt spent eight years studying sculpture, primarily with Barney Hodes at the Art Students League of New York. His work reflects his knowledge of both Eastern and Western ceramic traditions.
