Stuart Hack
Ceramic Artist

BIOGRAPHY
A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Stuart began his studies of ceramics at the Potters’ Guild and later at the Baltimore Museum of Art with Olin Russum, a Baltimore ceramics icon. His training in ceramics during the 1960’s included both hand building and throwing. For 30 years his talent laid dormant as he focused on family and a career as a pension consultant.

Life altering events brought Stuart to Southern California where time was available to satisfy the renewal of his artistic soul. Studies with the talented potters and staff at the Irvine Fine Arts Center became the inspiration and moral support for his exploration into the artistry of ceramics. The California mountains, canyons, landscapes and native history became the influencing canvas for Stuart’s hand built pieces. In each handcrafted vessel, the play of the sun on the deserts, hills, valleys and mountain landscape; the ever changing vistas, can be felt as his art work is carefully studied.

Stuart’s one-of-a-kind art has been juried into exhibits at the Irvine Fine Arts Center, the Orange County Fair, the Norco Southwestern Art Show and Long Beach Arts Show. His work can be found in collections across the nation. Currently, Stuart’s work is offered on this website and at Diddywopps and Keeffers Gallery in Monkton, Maryland.
