Marcia Selsor Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 For me, of contemporary potters it would be Judy Motzkin http://motzkin.com/ceramics.htm or Christina Cordova http://www.cristinacordova.com/gallery . I love their work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear All, If I could be any potter I would be Lucie Rie, Hans Coper (for their stylized simplicity and strength of design) or Walter Ostrum (for his highly knowledgeable ceramic brain and talent).

Chris Campbell Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Phew ... I'm glad someone finally said it!! I could not think of any other potter whose work I want to make. I want to look at it, feel it, drool over it but not make it or even claim it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yes, Chris and Mark. You're right. I do like/admire the work of the people I mentioned as well as many more, but I am happier in my own skin too. Can't really find the time to execute all the ideas I already have.

Natania Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I can think of many potters with whom I'd like to have a cup of tea and a long chat about pots with though! Lucie Rie, and also Edmund de Waal (is it ok if they are still alive?) and Julian Stair for starters, but there are so many more inspiring ones out there....

Marcia Selsor Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Yes that is fun. I had tea in St. Ives with Janet Leach. Lunch with Dave Shaner at Frances Senska's house. Breakfast with Richard Notkin at my house. Coffee with Kurt Weiser at my house. Cheerios with Bill Daley in early morning at the Bray. Plus many visits with potters in New England, Montana, Russia,Iceland, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Italy, and Spain including Ardcadi Vlasco, Allessio Tasco, Vladimir Tsivin, Dancing with Rudy Autio at the opening of Garth Clark's 100 Years of American Ceramics show in Pullman , Washington. Jack Troy and I sat next to each other on a bus trip to possibly the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. His pack was above us and his garlic was dripping on me. He was eating garlic for his cold. That was a trip!I thought the bus was leaking. It was pouring rain and there were holes in the bus. I believe we went to the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania that day. Great memories..

Denice Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 The only person I came up with Beatrice Wood and it wasn't her work that drew me to her but her calm and gentle attitude towards life. Her luster glazes are sensational but her aurora was even better. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a zest for life, and "chocolate and young men" Have you ever seen the movie, Mama of Dada? Or read her autobiography.."sometimes I Shock Myself? She was an absolute wonderful character. Good choice. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choice. Marcia I was thinking of later interviews with her when she was elderly. Her life and energy seem to have a soft and even flow, during the interview she would throw, have a cup of tea and then throw some wood in a small gas kiln to reduce it slightly. She didn't even seem to notice the camera and interviewer. I would have been extremely nervous, I'll have to rent that movie, reading is more of a challenge with my MS.

Wyndham Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm comfortable with myself but I do admire the life, work and dedication to the glaze development work that Harding Black achieved. I only got to learn a bit from him when I was just starting out in the mid 80's. It was a time when he was in his last few years of working with clay. I could have learned so much more in so many ways had I met him even 5 yrs earlier. The other part of is that we don't always recognize where we are, in those day to day circumstances that look rather common. We only to look back later on the importance 0f those times after they're past. Wyndham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 It is great to learn from people as amazing as Harding Black. What a great opportunity for you. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evelyne Schoenmann Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I have to thank the ones who mentioned Beatrice Wood. I didn't know her (I'am living over the pond, in Switzerland) and I was searching the net for her. I've found many wonderful pieces, and I have ordered her book. Can't wait to read it. I love Lucie Rie's work very much also. Greetings Evelyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebekah Krieger Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I drool over Kate Malone's Works- complete awe and confusion how she pulls off such beauty And Heschuen Lin - His videos put me in a deeper calm state than hours of meditation. I would love to channel both of them just to feel what it's like to make work like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
