About the Artist

Books featuring Ron's work include: Ceramic Design, 500 Bowls, and Teapots and Collectors. Articles highlighting his work have appeared in Studio Potter, Pottery Making Illustrated and School Arts Magazine. Ron has self-published two books: Birds Are Neat, and Ron Korczynski, Ceramic Artist.
Ron Korczynski has been extensively involved with highly decorative and functional low fire ceramic work for the past 20 years. His elaborate use of color and design on each individual piece makes his work coveted by collectors nationwide. A large, low-fired vase is in the permanent collection of The American Clay Co. - AMACO - and his work has appeared in many juried, invitational, and "one man" shows. The cover of the 2013 Potter's Council calendar featured an image of his "Izzy" rabbit platter, and an image of his "Trout Platter" was used for the month of June in their 2015 calendar. A teapot was recently selected for the prestigious 2019 "Art of The State" exhibition at the State Museum of Pennsylvania.

A native and current resident of Natrona Heights, PA, Ron graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Master's Degree in Art Education and taught art in the public school system for 32 years. In his early years as a potter, Ron's main body of work was functional stoneware pottery. In 2023, Ron closed his stoneware and wheel-thrown studio to focus solely on low-fire works of art. 

Many of Ron's creations are included in museums and private collections nationally and internationally. His work can be seen at Main Exhibit Gallery & Art Center, Ligonier, PA, and in many other galleries around the country. He and his wife, Judy, also maintain a studio and gallery at their home.
