Derek Weisberg is an artist who began sculpting at a very early age starting with the medium of mashed potatoes as soon as he could hold a fork and knife. Moving onto action figure assemblage when he could load a hot glue gun and at age 6 he transitioned into the medium of ceramics which was the beginning of his lifelong love and ultimate passion. He unwaveringly pursued ceramics sculpture throughout his child hood and teens, in Benicia CA where he was raised. At age 18 he moved to Oakland, CA to pursue his love for ceramics and art in general and attended California College of Arts and Crafts.
