Robert Chapman Turner (1913–2005) began as a painter before pursuing pottery in 1944. He earned an MFA in industrial ceramic design at Alfred in 1949 and established the pottery programme at Black Mountain College. He later taught at Alfred and worked in Alfred Station, New York. His functional thrown wares of the 1950s and 1960s developed into abstract vessels in the 1970s.
Travel in West Africa influenced later forms, while his broader influences included Greek, Chinese and Japanese ceramics, Zen Buddhism, Bauhaus design and Scandinavian pottery.
