Ceramist

A ceramist is a person who makes ceramics.

I had a go at school - I wasn't anything like as good as whoever made this and my efforts didn't last anywhere near as long.

Dissentient

Dissentient can mean a person who dissents (or a dissenter) or can be used as an adjective for disagreeing with an official or majority view.

The book buying public don't seem interested in my novel Firestarter, but a few dissentient voices have given it good reviews.
