Cody Moser is a ceramic artist and high school art educator from Northwest Ohio. He earned his BFA in Art Education from Bowling Green State University and currently teaches high school art while maintaining an active studio practice centered on functional ceramics and layered surface design.

Cody’s work combines traditional pottery techniques with contemporary design processes. His pieces often begin on the wheel and are later altered through hand-building techniques to create dynamic forms. Surface imagery is developed using digitally designed stencils cut with a Cricut machine and multiple layers of underglaze, creating depth, pattern, and painterly compositions across the ceramic surface. Drawing from his background in painting and illustration, Cody approaches pottery as a canvas for storytelling and visual exploration.

Themes in his work are inspired by personal experiences, memory, and the natural world, which inform the layered imagery and bold graphic elements that define his style.

In addition to his studio practice and teaching, Cody has been recognized as an Emerging Artist by the Northern Indiana Clay Alliance (2024). He regularly teaches ceramics workshops throughout the Midwest, sharing techniques in altered wheel-thrown forms, surface design, and practical skills for documenting ceramic work through photography.

As an instructor, Cody focuses on helping artists expand their creative process by blending traditional techniques with modern tools and encouraging experimentation with form, imagery, and surface.
