Pres Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 A strand about the state of Art Education in Aesthetics led to naming important ceramic artists that are historically significant or influenced the ceramic art or technology. To begin with . . . Marcia listed: Yanagi, author of the "Unknown Craftsman", Bernard Leach, Hamada, and the young Rudy Autio and Peter Voulkos Others were Beatrice Wood and Otto Heino, Lucy Rie, Charles Fergus Binns, Edward Orton Jr,George E. Ohr , Don Reitz, Johann Friedrich Böttger. One of my favorites as far as influencing the use of the extruder, slips and multilayered slip and glaze was John Glick. Add to the list, name a few. best, Pres terrim8 and wconnelley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I just listed contemporary artists on another thread. I want to add this one here. http://www.jessicaputnamphillips.com She is a female combat veteran expressing her experiences in chinaware. I saw her work at the garden party show at NCECA and was at the panel on the GI bill and ceramics. I love her work. wconnelley, terrim8 and Judith B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceallach Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Michael Cardew, Simon and David Leach, Shoji Hamada, someone mentioned Hans Coper but did not mention Lucie Rie. There are artists that did ceramics which are interesting, including Picasso, Klee, Chagall, Miro, Gauguin. They aren't potters but their work is interesting in use of color and surface design. Lady Kwali from Nigeria was an Abuja potter while Cardew was there. She was unusual in that she came to the studio as an established female potter in the Nigerian tradition but overcame the (colonial) gender biases of the time. (This whole thing is interesting because of the British intent to create a Nigerian pottery tradition; Cardew's training of local men as potters in a continent where women are overwhelmingly the potters and do amazing work--imperialism at its finest really). We recently found some of the African pots that we had in storage....one in particular, probably from Congo, was beautifully round, thin and consistent to be mistaken for thrown, not coiled work, and beautifully reduced in a pit-fire. Sometimes, it's less of a potter, but a tradition. Every region in the US has solid pottery traditions that are very different. terrim8 and wconnelley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullins Pottery Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 In terms of american pottery a few yeas back I did a paper on Maria Martinez and another on Juan Quesada. Their work rediscovering the traditional native american ceramic aesthetic and process I think is definitely worth mention.

Min Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Sad news, one of the greats, Warren MacKenzie, passed away on December 31. Truly a big loss. http://www.startribune.com/world-famous-minnesota-potter-warren-mackenzie-dies-at-94/503729332/ dhPotter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Not sure where to post but thought some here might be interested. Did not know him personally but have watched some of his videos. Seems to have made a serious impact in pottery and that is an accomplishment that few of us will achieve. https://www.minnpost.com/artscape/2019/01/warren-mackenzie-a-profoundly-influential-minnesota-potter/ Edited January 2, 2019 by Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhPotter Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Whenever I think I can't go to the pottery for some reason or another, I always picture Warren MacKenzie walking out to his pottery at 90+ years of age. And when I'm really full of self pity I watch his video, "A Potter's Hands" and am ashamed of my insignificant whining. I feel the same way about Shoji Hamada. He sits or kneels and spins his wheel with a stick in "Art of the Potter" and creates beauty. How can I ever say "I'm too tired or too old or whatever" to go to the pottery?

glazenerd Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Saw this artist on the History Channel a year back or so. Anna Coleman Ladd was a porcelain sculptor who used her skill to make porcelain prosthetics for soldiers who had facial disfigurements after WW1. There was another woman from New York that made them for Civil War soldiers.. forgot her name.. sorry! https://hyperallergic.com/314255/the-sculptor-who-made-masks-for-soldiers-disfigured-in-world-war-i/ Tom Marcia Selsor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazenerd Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 My personal favorite- Taxtile Doat. - most crystalline glazers count him as the godfather of this speciality glaze. http://history.ucpl.lib.mo.us/results.asp?search=Doat%2C+Taxile+Maximin%2C+1851-1939 check out the 4 foot wide porcelain bowl he threw in 1910. 2 assistants turned the wheel. Help found the University Pottery (University City, Mo.) 1910. Proceeds funded the Woman's' Sufrage Movement. Teachers - he also wrote some of the earliest curriculum for Art Ed. Have toured what is now called: University Museum. Marcia Selsor and terrim8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeU Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 My all time favorite-John Baymore. June 16-19 John Baymore (is) “Headed off to South Korea ...in a week for an exhibition, then (the vessel with the neck will go) into a public collection. The container is my single favorite piece of all things made of clay that I have seen to date. John says " It is not done yet. Next it gets overglaze enamels."

CactusPots Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 For me, the all time favorite is Brother Thomas. Every page in the 2 published books of his work that I have make me feel like the village idiot. He had a huge range of glazes that were just masterful. Besides which, his porcelain throwing skills were beyond my comprehension. I don't know how much more art can do for you than that.

Denice Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I think we should include Marcia Selsor in our list, her work with soluable salts, raku and pit and saggar firings is mind blowing . She has probably has created as many potters has she has pots teaching at universities and around the world. When I visited her in Yellowstone I would have bought one of her soluble salt pots she was taking out of a firing but they were already sold.

Robineau and Doat worked together in St. Louis at the University in the teens (1900 teens). glazenerd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
