Pres Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 There have been times where a significant event has happened involving ceramics where posters could not figure where to post it. Sadly enough, deaths of important artists is one of these areas. There are times also when a major museum has a Ceramics event of great interest, or where some other event occurs that really should be posted other than in the Ceramic Events of Interest area. We have posted this strand here in the Educational Approaches and Resources section as we expect the litmus test to be. . . .is this of educational importance to Ceramics. best, Pres Marcia Selsor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Even though Warren McKenzie died in December of 2018, I am kicking this strand off by including him here. Min posted the following link to an excellent historic article on Warren. Posted Wednesday at 11:33 AM 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/ LeeU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnnaj Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Thank you for the notice on Warren, I live in Minnesota and didn't know he had passed. He affected many of the people I have learned from. Nancy Edited January 4, 2019 by mnnaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 We may need a different word than "event. " I think of "event" as signifying something that is going on, or about to go on, like a conference or workshop. Perhaps Significant Ceramic News would capture better what you are looking at here.

Mark C. Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 That strange as I was just going thru my 2011 tax papers to shred (8 years back) to make room for the new 2018 papers I'm working on now. One was a letter from Warren about the bowl he sent me as a trade (I paid shipping cost)I put it with bowl today-same day I read this thread.I had not heard the news-small world.

oldlady Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 we lost several of the best last year. mitch lyons gave a lot of workshops introducing people to the broomstick method of making cylinders. i attended a meeting where he explained how he made his monoprints and showed the making of one print. he was a kind and gentle man. we should not take for granted the continued presence of the potters we know of but do not have direct contact.

oldlady Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 thanks, marcia. i remember seeing the many duck stadiums and other duck containing work in ceramics monthly many years ago. it is sad to think that new potters might never see them.

Benzine Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I happened to hear about Warren, from a channel I follow on Youtube. I've watched multiple videos, documenting his process. I am *still* in awe of how he was able to keep going with pottery, even in his later years. I also chuckle at his insistence, that he do everything himself, because he couldn't find anyone to do it, just how he wanted it. His influence will continue to be felt.

Marcia Selsor Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Eve marie Gibbons died last month. She was a member of Clayart many years ago. More recently she was teaching post -fire surface finishes on Teachinart.com. Her death was very unexpected. Marcia Pres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
