Mark Rigsby received his BFA in Ceramics from Auburn University in 1991 and his MFA in Ceramics and Sculpture from the University of Alabama in 1997.

He has worked in clay for over 30 years.
Rigsby's studio work focuses on creating ceramic sculpture, as well as utilitarian wood-fired and soda-fired stoneware and porcelain. His work has been exhibited in national and international juried exhibitions across the country, some of which include: the Workhouse Clay National in Lorton, VA, the San Angelo Ceramics National, in San Angelo, TX, the American Craft Council Show in Atlanta, GA, and the Smithsonian Fine Craft Exhibition in Washington, DC.
