Lilly Zuckerman is originally from Pittsburgh and grew up in rural Greensburg, PA on a farm with horses, geese, chickens, dogs, cats, and magical woods. Zuckerman completed her Master of Fine Arts in ceramics from the University of Colorado in 2017. In 2010, Zuckerman received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics with an Art History minor from The Pennsylvania State University. Zuckerman’s work has been made possible by residencies at The Archie Bray Foundation, The Anderson Ranch Arts Center, The Clay Studio of Missoula, and The Clay Studio in Philadelphia. She has exhibited nationally at Trax Gallery in California, The Clay Studio in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, The Archie Bray Foundation in Montana, The Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado, The Clay Arts Center in New York, and in the ArtStream Nomadic Gallery. Her work has been published in Ceramics Art & Perception, Ceramics Monthly, Pottery Making Illustrated, and most recently, Mastering Hand Building, by Sunshine Cobb. In late 2020 Zuckerman co-founded AboveBoardCeramics.com with Penelope Van Grinsven. This online ceramics gallery hosts "Above Board" a functional tableware show annually in mid March coinciding with NCECA. ABC is committed to actively addressing racial disparities in the clay community by working to build a more equitable exhibition that showcases a diverse group of makers.
Zuckerman is an artist and art educator currently living in New Haven, Connecticut with her wife Skylar and their dog, cat, and four chickens.
