Claire Resnick is a philadelphia-based ceramic artist who creates tableware and textural design objects.
As a material driven artist, Claire forgoes traditional ceramic tools in favor of tactile hand-building techniques like coiling and pinching. Her organic process continues through intuitive glazing and the use of wood and gas kilns. These firing technique requires the artist to physically engage with her work preserving the organic movement of clay and glaze. The result is a familiar yet unique form with textural surfaces that gives each vessel a life of its own.
Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Claire studied Fashion Design & Merchandising at Drexel University and then went on to earn a MBA in marketing analytics. While working in NYC, Claire took up ceramics as a hobby in 2019 and transitioned to a full time career in ceramic arts in 2024.
Claire works with interior designers and stylists and has sold her work to stores like Vestige, Tangerine, DuddHaus, Mociun, November19 and Quail. She has done special projects with NYC-based fashion brand Merlette and large-scale retailer Free People.
The artist has been featured in NY Magazine, NYTimes, Philadelphia Magazine and Philadelphia Inquirer. She also appears in blogs such as Cap Beauty, Ali LaBelle, Daniela Araya, Kristiana Noel, Schmatta. Claire was selected for the 2025 Nest Makers Future Fund cohort and participated in the 2024 Watershed Ceramic Residency program in Maine. She is interested in collaborating with creatives and open to leading workshops at ceramic studios nationwide.
