Colorado Springs, CO
(b. New York, 1957)

Robin Scappaticci’s journey with clay began in the Hudson Valley of New York, where she fell in love with ceramics during high school. She went on to earn a degree in Ceramics from the State University of New York in Potsdam and worked as a production potter in Massachusetts. After a 25-year hiatus, Robin rediscovered her passion for clay through a transformative summer class. Today, she creates pottery that brings her immense joy, from forming the clay to applying delicate lace patterns and vibrant colors, to the final reveal after glazing.

Robin’s work merges functionality with artistic expression. She is drawn to textural techniques, including imprinting  lace, leaves, and flowers, as well as exploring sgraffito and raku. Recently, she has also incorporated monoprinting with underglazes onto clay. Through her diverse range of techniques, Robin continues to evolve as an artist, always seeking to express a variety of artistic voices. For Robin, making art is about finding and sharing joy, and she finds great satisfaction in seeing others appreciate her work.
