About Facundo Stamparini
My interest in ceramics began during my high school student exchange from Chile to Reno, Nevada, at the age of 16. When I first arrived, knowing little to no English, the school’s studio quickly became a place of comfort. As time passed I got to know our ceramics teacher, Gary Brown. He would often leave the studio door open for me to come and practice over the weekends (The whole studio to myself)
After a year-long experience living in the U.S., I felt sad about not having access to such a wonderful studio. I knew it would be difficult and expensive to set up my own in Chile. However, things worked out. I connected with a local artist, Viviana Fuchslocher, and worked under her—learning a lot.
Finally I decided to set up my own studio. I practiced extensively throughout my high school senior year and then moved to South Lake Tahoe for college (bringing the studio with me). Since then, I have been able to work independently at my own pace.
While taking business classes at Lake Tahoe Community College, I took advantage of their incredible studio and amazing professors. After finishing my first two years of studies, I transferred to the University of Nevada, Reno, and recently graduated with a Major in General Business. During the summer of 2021, I spent a lot of time at John Manley’s studio, an incredible potter based off Washoe Valley, Nevada, learning from the master himself
Currently my studio is located in South Lake Tahoe, California.
