Casey Zablocki was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula
and is currently a ceramic artist residing in Denver, Colorado. He received his BFA from Finlandia
University and studied ceramic design in Kuopio Finland. He spent one year working and studying
as an apprentice to Peter Callas and as a special student at Montana State. He
has showed in both National and International exhibitions.
“I believe in form and function, craft
and industry, which all need to be considered to create a balance in beauty. Knowing beauty is just a perception it
allows me to use clay as a natural vehicle to transport my ideas. My ideas are
influenced by my past and my present surroundings. I find acceptance that each
idea will not be successful and believe if I continue the process of creating,
my perception of success will change. I find wood firing to be the most
efficient artistic tool in finishing my work.”

Alright guys it’s that time in which I start to get annoying by reminding you daily to get your applications in for the Medalta International Cup Show. So lets make it easy on everyone involved by having you all each just send in your applications, because it’ll get embarrassing for all concerned if I have to start calling each and everyone of you individually to remind you! : )
