Yotburd, the alter-ego of artist Zachery Lechtenberg, creates ceramic pieces covered in 360-degrees of hand-drawn illustrations. Each of the one-of-a-kind slip cast white clay cups carry Yotburd’s characters inspired by street art, cartoons, and comic books, colliding with colors.
Lechtenberg received his BFA in Metals and Jewelry at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville where in addition to metalsmithing he also studied printmaking, drawing, and illustration. He went on to earn his MFA at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina with a focus in metalsmithing and champlevé enamel.
