Bio

Ashot was born in Armenia and emigrated to the US at a young age and grew up in a multicultural household. He has been living in the Boston area where he earned an MBA and Master's in Teaching.

For over twenty years, Ashot has been a high school English teacher but never stopped dreaming of working with clay since sitting in front of a wheel in his 12th grade art class. Now that he has retired from public education he spends the majority of his days in the Ceramics Studio at Harvard Office for the Arts.

Working with clay is his passion and his meditation and some might say obsession, especially when he forgets to eat and comes home at the insistence of his partner and his schnauzer Simon.
