1922-1993
Cleveland native Charles Lakofsky was an internationally renowned “functional ceramist” who enjoyed experimenting with sculptural forms. He studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, New York State College of Ceramics, and Ohio State University. He worked in both porcelain and stoneware, formulating his own glazes and firing regimens. Lakofsky taught art at Bowling Green State University from 1948-1983 and frequently chaired the Art Department. In addition to ceramics, gardening was a special passion for Lakofsky, as it had also served for his beloved design professor at CIA, Kenneth Bates.
