We are so thrilled to welcome John Vorstadt @vorstadtjohn to FCPI this year! He will be at Flower City Arts Center OCT 9th- 11th selling his work!

John Vorstadt is a painter and ceramic artist creating functional tableware, fine ceramics and two dimensional work. His ceramic forms are pinched or wheel thrown highlighting craft, the maker and the artist's hand. Often he uses motifs of native New York wildlife depicting struggles of life, work and the everlasting pursuit of “the finer things".

John Vorstadt is a ceramic artist and illustrator from Dryden New York. In 2015 he graduated from Alfred University with a BA in Interdisciplinary Art and is the recipient of the Kiki Smith fellowship. Following, John completed a post baccalaureate from the University of Florida and has been teaching and displaying work nationally for the past 10 years.
