Mikey Gambino has roots in pottery dating back to high school, when he and his father transformed a basement room into a ceramics studio. That introduction to the artform ultimately motivated him to add a second major, studio arts (ceramics option), to his industrial design studies at RIT. Between the two, he merges art and technology every day. “Ceramics is the passion, but I definitely want to blend it with design,” he said.
