Ralph Stuckman was born on a farm near Bucyrus, Ohio. He has been highly influenced in the ceramic arts due to these early experiences with nature.
Education is an important priority for him. His formal schooling concluded with an earned doctorate in education from Ball State University. Ralph’s career path included many years of teaching education courses at Wright State University and Urbana University in Ohio.
Ralph became fascinated with the ceramic arts in the 1970s. His informal studies included major institutions in Ohio, Vermont, Missouri, and North Carolina. Zach Medler of Arts Place in Portland, Indiana facilitated Ralph’s intensity with ceramic prints.
Stuckman especially enjoys creating works with ceramic prints pertinent to a given theme. He marvels as people are drawn into a prolonged study of each creation. Ralph frequently hears people comment that they have never seen art as presented in his creations. He has won many awards and has two solo exhibitions scheduled for 2010.
Ralph and Jane live in Celina, Ohio. They have a family that includes a son, daughter, and four grandchildren.
