Roberto Lugo grew up in a North Philadelphia neighborhood better known for poverty and crime than for pottery. Yet the 40-year-old artist's ceramics, featuring the faces of his personal heroes, put a modern spin on classic teapots. Correspondent Serena Altschul talks with Lugo, whose work is on display at some of the country's leading museums and galleries, about how he is shaping his passion to inspire others.

If anyone is able to do what Roberto is able to instead of being mad or vengeful, we all should have a Roberto inside us to make a better world.

I've used his work for a few years now as examples for the High School Ceramics class that I teach. We do a Graffiti in clay project and they really get inspired my Roberto. I hope to see his work in person someday. This is a great segment that I'll share with my class when we get to that unit.

Great job, Roberto. So glad you found ceramics. I remember when I started throwing pots, it felt like being a kid and playing in the mud again. Truly an inspiration!

You exemplify the simple but truest humanitarian example of what I liken to the "if I won the lottery" that so many seek. Yours was not the lottery as such, but is so rewarding and based on the ground and family that "if" wasn't the focus. It was "I" lived that dream because of ground and family. As that expanded I want others to have that peace. My thoughts, may you an your family enjoy and stay safe. From an old WG in Austin.

I’ve never done much pottery in my day, but I have heard about it, but haven’t developed much interest in it- at least, not yet. I know that it’s one of those terrific hobbies , as well as artistic creations to have, when it comes to passing the time. Roberto must have a great unique style of living his life, along with pottery, indeed.

Kensington was a huge part of the industrial might of Philadelphia once upon a time. Deindustrialization, starting in the late 70s, is what happened there. The first Rocky ( Rocky lived in Kensington) movie shows what Kensington was like before its decline.
