Katie Botterman

Katie Botterman is a ceramic artist, instructor, and ancient history nerd working in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She earned her BFA from Ohio University in 2021. Botterman has completed a residency at New Harmony Clay Project, in New Harmony, Indiana, and she was recently the ceramics artist in residence at Pittsburgh Center for Arts + Media. By teaching at multiple studios, she continues to share her love of clay with others while pursuing her own new works.
