Claire Weissberg, a native New Yorker, studied pottery with Clary Illian in Iowa, and with Chiyoichi Shimizu in Japan. She received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and currently makes urban folk pottery full time in her Brooklyn studio.
Since Claireware is hand-thrown, carved, and fired to cone 6, there will be some variation in shape, size, and color from order to order. However, all work that leaves the studio must meet the same high standards.
