Sencer Sarı started his studies in Çanakkale On Sekiz Mart University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramic between 2002 and 2006 and later attended the same university for his master's degree between 2007 and 2010 where he completed his master's degree in the Department of Ceramics, Çanakkale 18 Mart University in 2010 where his master's thesis project "Low-temperature Chromated Glazes" was published under Scientific Research Projects. It was during this time during his studies, he focused on artistic ceramic forms along with experimental ceramic technology supporting these forms. In 2006, Sarı worked a

between 2005 and 2009 on low-temperature glazed and chromated glazes. In 2013, S. Sarı completed his Ph.D. degree at the Department of Ceramics and Glass, National Art Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria with the thesis titled "reaching copper-red glazes in low-temperature and oxygenated atmosphere". Sarı has resumed his technological research during his Ph.D. studies where he developed "smoke-free reduction techniques" in electric ovens and interior places by reduction of petroleum. With this new method, the artist achieved to provide copper red color difficult to provide in ceramic technology. S. Sarı is also a member of the International Association Of Art Turkish National Committee UNESCO AIAP, since 2007. 2014 September to 2016 February he worked as a Lecture

s. Sarı has been working with technology and art in parallel implementing works of art by using the techniques of uranium silicate's phosphorus effects on porcelain bodies since 2011. According to Sarı, there are two shades of red (copper red and uranium red) that are very difficult to achieve in glaze and ceramics and that a small surface of uranium red can be produced by burning uranium nitrate in high temperature. He was able to experiment with radioactive rare elements during his PhD studies in Sofia and that he was able to successfully significantly reduce
