Kevin Frazier was born in an artistic family. His mother was a painter. He experimented with various media from an early age. By the end of high school he already started taking pottery classes. Ever since he has been working with clay.

Kevin received his MFA and secondary teaching certificate from the University of Utah. Shortly after graduating he began teaching at Salt Lake Community College. Then he had the opportunity to set up and run the craft center at the college. He began teaching pottery,stained glass, lapidary, small metals and anything else someone wanted to try.

Most of his current work is raku. Raku is a low temperature firing technique that requires the pieces to be taken out of the kiln while they are still very hot. In most cases the glaze on the piece is still fluid. The fast rate of cooling, from the hot kiln to air temperature,causes the glaze to crackle. Post reduction, placing the hot piece in a combustible material, fills these crackles and any unglazed surface with black carbon.

Although he uses a stoneware clay body for his work, it never reaches vitrification  temperature. This means that raku is inherently more fragile than stoneware and should be handled with care.
