Robin Hopper

Robin Hopper is a contemporary Canadian potter, and a pioneer in pottery instruction. The definitive expert in glaze chemistry and authority in clay and pottery, Hopper has written a number of instructional texts on ceramics, one of which, The Ceramic Spectrum, is currently used as a required text book for ceramics classes at St. Edward's.

Hopper has been an invaluable resource for me as a student in ceramics. His techniques have helped me improve my own creative process and his knowledge of glaze chemistry has given me a much better understanding of the processes that turn simple powdered minerals into brilliantly colored surfaces.
