Despite her family's intellectual prominence in the field of science, Zeisel always felt a deep attraction towards art. At 17, she entered Budapest's Magyar Képzőművészeti Akadémia (Hungarian Royal Academy of Fine Arts)<ref name="evazeisel.org">The Eva Zeisel Forum; www.evazeisel.org</ref> as a painter.<ref name=CH/> To support her painting, she decided to pursue a more practical profession and apprenticed herself to Jakob Karapancsik, the last pottery master in the medieval guild system. From him she learned ceramics. She was the first woman to qualify as a journeyman in the Hungarian [[Guild]] of Chimney Sweeps, Oven Makers, Roof Tilers, Well Diggers, and Potters.<ref name="MOMA">{{cite book|last=Butler|first=Cornelia|title=Modern Women: Women Artists at the Museum of Modern Art|publisher=Museum of Modern Art|location=New York}}</ref> After graduating as a journeyman, she found work at the Hansa-Kust-Keramik, a ceramic workshop in Hamburg, Germany.<ref name="CH" />
