Craig Hartenberger is a visual artist working primarily in the medium of ceramics. Through a meditative relationship with material, his sculptural works explore the language of pattern and geometric abstraction, drawing connections to his interest in observing the built world, time, and labor. His works have been exhibited and collected across the US and internationally in a variety of venues. He received his BFA in ceramics from Missouri State University in 2013 and his MFA in studio art from Kent State University in 2020. He is currently an instructor in the studio foundations program at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and splits his studio practice between Springdale, Arkansas, and Coatepec, Mexico.
