Based in Calgary, Vin Arora is a ceramic artist and educator with over two decades of experience in the studio and classroom. His work spans from humble tableware to large-scale sculptural pieces, all grounded in a deep curiosity about materials and their role in everyday life, community, and culture

Vin co-founded MudLab, a pottery studio in Vancouver known for its welcoming, community-driven ethos. He has taught at Emily Carr University and numerous art centers, sharing his passion for clay, glaze chemistry, and the magic that happens in kilns (and sometimes in life).

In 2024, Vin took his kiln expertise to national TV as the technician on *CBC’s *Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down**. He’s also designed custom stoneware for some of Canada’s top chefs, but is equally happy making bowls that just feel good in your hands.
