Chamberlain | Vase II

Benjamin Harrison Chamberlain (1975-2021) was a Studio Potter, Kiln designer & builder, Charcuterie Connoisseur, and a beloved Employee of Pewabic Pottery for many years. Born and raised in Northern Michigan, Ben gravitated toward the arts from an early age. He taught and made work that celebrated alternative firing methods like raku, salt, and wood firings.

He created communities wherever he went and always strove to bring people together out of the love of the ceramic process itself, encouraging all to share, learn and grow together. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2017, Ben continued making and firing pots, taking part in the wood-firing communities he had grown so close to over the years. His studio work continued until the very end of his life, supported and encouraged by the friends, colleagues and loved ones closest to him.
