“I like the process of transforming an abstract idea into an original ceramic piece,” says Yaroslav Zabavskiy describing his passion for ceramics. Born in Moscow in 1990, he studied ceramics and photography at Earlham College (USA) in 2014. His teaching career started at the British Higher School of Art and Design, one of Russia’s main centres for international education in the field of Art and Design. In 2016, Yaroslav moved to Armenia and currently is the Head of Arts Faculty at United World College Dilijan where he teaches visual arts with an emphasis on ceramics, sculpture as well as darkroom based film photography. In the process of making ceramics, Yaroslav likes mixing forms and images and transferring photography onto the clay.
