Born in Lansing, Michigan, in 1950, Weiser attended the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Michigan, where he obtained his Master of Fine Arts degree in 1976. He served as the Director of the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena (Montana) for almost a decade in the 1970s and is currently a Regents Professor at Arizona State University, where he started teaching in 1988. His production evolved through the years, initially he decorated pottery in an abstract way, but in the 1990s he changed his way of working, painting his ceramics with China paint and developing a signature figurative style.
