Orçun İlter was born in Bursa in 1981. He completed his primary and secondary education in Bursa. Showing an artistic talent at an early age, İlter opened his first solo exhibition at the age of 8 with works he created using pastel and gouache paints. He won awards in many competitions he participated in during this period; these include second place in Turkey in a competition organized by the Embassy of Thailand. Entering the Painting Department of Zeki Müren Anatolian Fine Arts High School in 1996, the artist continued his education in the Ceramics Department of Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts in 1999.

Here, he produced ceramic works together with Mürşit Cemal Özcan. Traveling to Japan in 2003 upon the invitation of Tokyo University of the Arts (GEIDAI), İlter studied under the supervision of Prof. Fumio Shimada. During this process, becoming acquainted with Japanese discipline and techniques, he developed himself in many areas from the construction of primitive kilns to special design and production processes. The experiences he gained in Japan added deep technical knowledge and aesthetic understanding to the artist's works.

In 2010, İlter's works were published in the book "International Contemporary Masters" in the United States of America, and in the same year, he was invited by the Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality to establish a ceramics workshop.
