Another term for a ceramicist; an artist or craftsperson who works with clay and ceramic materials.
From 'ceramic' (Greek 'keramos' meaning pottery) plus '-ist' (one who practices). This is a slightly shorter variant of 'ceramicist,' both emerging as pottery became recognized as a fine art.
Whether called a ceramist or ceramicist, these artists spend years perfecting their craft—and interestingly, the same hand-throwing technique potters use today is virtually identical to what potters did 5,000 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia!
