Vartan Poghosian, a contemporary ceramic artist, was born and raised in Yerevan, Armenia. Following his military service, Poghosian relocated to the United States and settled in upstate New York. Initially starting with a ceramic studio, he established the community art center known as 4 Elements Studio in 2009.

In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic in 2020, Poghosian established Clayville Pottery. This venture became the primary platform for highlighting his original ceramic creations and artwork.

"Often, my creations take the form of a container, frequently delving into the notion of a vessel for travel. I consistently view them as protectors of valuable cargo, while simultaneously embodying the characteristics of a voyager."

Please join Cazenovia Artisans in welcoming Vartan to our gallery at his opening reception on September 7, 2-5 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public.
