Paul Soldner (fecha nacimiento Abril 24,1921 en Summerfield, Illinois) es un ceramista Americano artist. Soldner vive y realiza estudios en Aspen, Colorado y Claremont, California.

Soldner, que sirvió como médico del ejército durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, comenzó a desarrollar una carrera profesional en el arte al regresar a los Estados Unidos.Obtuvo grados en pintura de Bluffton College y la Universidad de Colorado, luego dirigió su atención a la cerámica.Se centró primero en cerámica funcional.

En 1954, Soldner se convirtió en el primer alumno de Peter Voulkos en el nuevo departamento de cerámica del County Art Institute en Los Angeles (ahora convertido en Otis College of Art and Design). Mientras Soldner ayudaba a su maestro a elaborar el programa, hizo varios cambios en el equipamiento de cerámica, incluyendo un tipo de coccion a la sal de baja temperatura. En 1955, fundó el Soldner Pottery Equipment para trabajar en sus inventos.

After receiving his MFA in ceramics in 1956, Soldner began teaching at Scripps College. Soldner's teaching at Scripps emphasized a from-scratch approach to ceramic arts, including natural clays, kiln-building and glaze formulation.

Soldner produced a large body of work. He also produced numerous innovations in ceramic equipment and technique, including the American form of Raku. Along with Voulkos, Soldner has been credited with creating the "California School" of ceramic arts by combining Western materials and technology with Japanese techniques and aesthetics.

Soldner founded the Scripps Ceramics Annual. He was also involved in starting the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts.

He retired from Scripps in 1992.

In 2003, Soldner was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from Bluffton College.
