  1. 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

      Call it OCD, call it whatever but; I have spent hours working with just a metal rib, then a wooden rib, then a silicon rib: just learning how much pressure and how each acts.

      Think your questions are doing more than that, some of the questions are making me think about things in a different way. Might disagree with some of the answers but if the object of the lessons is to get us looking at things from a different perspective it is doing that. As they say, no such thing as wasted knowledge right?
