Theo Ruzicka
Theo Ruzicka is a Ukrainian American artist based in Texas who specializes in ceramics. Even though he has been an artist for his entire life, he only started making ceramics as an escape from 2D art. He started working on ceramics about 2 years ago after almost giving up on art entirely after many bad experiences in high school art class.
Theo fell in love with the way how you could combine different chemicals to create different variations of glaze. He created ceramic animals as a method to test out different glazes for bigger pieces, but he fell in love with the critters instead. He switched his focus to creating a collection of critters, focusing on their form this time, to create the perfect shapes for each animal.
These critters are still all handmade by Theo in his home, and are available for "adoption" here.
