Robin DuPont's studio is deep in the interior of British Columbia, just outside of Nelson. A compound of woodfire kilns is where he can be found mixing, moving, and firing clay and occasionally other materials. Robin's career includes teaching at several post-secondary institutions, building kilns, and exhibiting internationally.
Recognized for his contributions to the genre of atmospheric firing in the last twenty-five years, he has also consistently exhibited work of a relational nature and, more recently, is investigating material and process outside of function. With an MFA from Utah State University, his professional development also includes two apprenticeships with studio potters, artist-in-residencies, and several research and work studies in Canada, the United States, Australia, and Korea. Robin has taught ceramics at the post-secondary level at Alberta University of the Arts, the University of Manitoba, and is currently a faculty member at Kootenay School of Arts in Nelson, British Columbia.
