Stephen Robison works primarily in ceramics, but their three
decades as a professor has allowed them to use many materials to convey meaning in their work. Currently, they are working on neck pieces, wall, and pedestal works. This work combines colored porcelains, (usually directed in the creation of fictitious flowers), stoneware clay, and low fire clay forms that are fired in oxidation, high fire reduction atmospheres and in wood-fired kilns to obtain specific surfaces and colors. They incorporate kiln-formed glass and/or blown glass forms along with metal and vacuum-formed plastics. 

Stephen Robison has an MFA from the University of Iowa and a BFA from the University of Wisconsin. Robison has participated in numerous national and international artist in residence programs including, but not limited to, the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana, Appalachian Center for Crafts in Smithville, Tennessee, Watershed Center for Ceramics Arts in Newcastle, Maine, and Guldagergaard - International Ceramic Research Center, in Skælskør, Denmark. They are currently an Associate Professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington.
