Usage Note

Ceramista is a common-gender noun (el/la ceramista), so the article alone marks the sex of the person. It refers to an artist or craftsperson who works in ceramics, and it is more formal and broader than alfarero ('potter'), which implies the specific craft of throwing and firing clay vessels.

Examples

"La ceramista creó una colección inspirada en la naturaleza."

Natural Translation
