lorielle 1 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Which artist would you love to work beside in their studio for one week? Who and why? Add a photo and/or a web link! I actually have two people I would love to work with: Beatrice Wood, for her expertise, her stories and to learn how to grow old gracefully. My other choice would be David Shaner, for his skill, expertise, and to learn how to make work that touches others as much as his touches me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrgpots 273 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm not good enough yet to benefit from such an instructor. It would be like a "duffer" receiving the best golf clubs available. It would not make much of difference yet. But ask me in 5 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcia Selsor 1,871 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 oh. The title before it completely opened was " which artist would you love"? Miguel Molet. He lives in Catalunya, one of my favorite parts of the world. I enjoy his exploration and classes where the group explore new ideas together. He has a great community he is working with.

Karen B 27 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Jeremy Randall. His beautiful work is so different. I was lucky enough to take a 3 day workshop with him in the spring, but would love to work for a week with him as he is so efficient in his methods and has a lot to offer.

It would not make much of difference yet. But ask me in 5 years. actually, if you did nothing more than silently walk around the studio of an experienced potter with your EYES and your BRAIN open, you would learn more than asking 500 questions here. that is why anyone new should take advantage of any "open studio" visits in your area.

Mark C. 4,727 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 If I could turn back the clock and spend a week in Hamada's studio back in the day absorbing .That would be just fine Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evelyne Schoenmann 264 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I would choose Ellen Shankin (to learn more interesting throwing/altering forms) and maybe, in autumn 2014, I will be lucky enough to participate in a workshop in Tuscany with her.

JLowes 29 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Michael Sherrill. I love his work, but his tools are intriguing to me. He makes what he needs and finds materials to make them from that make them better than any other manufacturers. I guess I am a tool man and a do it yourselfer, as is Michael. I am guessing he could really teach me how to use my extruder in mind blowing ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JustaWhittle 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I have LOVED Meira Mathison's work for some time and would adore the opportunity to see her work! If I lived on the other side of the country I would have definitely tried to get in on one of her workshops by now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nancylee 54 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I love Susan Nemeth's work, color crazed person that I am! I was going to take a workshop with her in Italy in 2014, but they changed the week, and I can't go now. http://pinterest.com/source/susannemeth.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trina 21 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Shadow May. Jim, ha Shadow May should be begging to meet you!! T OffCenter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OffCenter 87 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks, T, but Shadow May is crazy good! I just bought one of his mugs that blew my mind and was going to buy a bowl but my wife found out I was trying to sell the car to pay for it and said it was either her or the bowl. Now, I'm racked with indecision. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcia Selsor 1,871 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have a second person, Jane Jermyn, an Irish potter whose work I admire. Marcia Diane Puckett 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocks 6 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I am with Mark - I would choose to work at Hamada's back in the day. The other potter would without a doubt be Marguerite Wildenhain and a week at Pond Farm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnnieM 1 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 My pottery teacher was trained by Marguerite Wildenhain at Pond Farm. He speaks so highly of her. Her inspiration and guidance has lasted him a lifetime. So I think I'd spend time with her first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's true! Early fall I went to 2 studios in 1 day. I could feel the soul being poured into one potters' works, and the other potter seemed to allow anything standing upright, just to pump out as much as possible. I learned that day what type of potter I wanted to become. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Davidpotter 16 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Ric Lamore is a local potter and has done demonstrations at my school twice now. Luckily my ceramics classes will be doing a pit firing with him and i will be helping him with his spring wood firing. i bet by the time i'm done pestering him with questions he wont even let me near his studio. https://www.facebook.com/ric.lamore/photos my other chose would be Mark Skudlarek who is also a local potter and i was able to visit him once and get a tour. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cambridge-Wood-Fired-Pottery/311872212185272?id=311872212185272&sk=info i will be going on Cambridge's Clay Collective studio tours may 3-4 this year to absorb information too! https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Clay-Collective/182723255164401 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChenowethArts 469 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have to add my 2 cents worth. I have been an admirer of Sandra Blain's work for some time now... and hope to get into one of her workshops soon. Sandra's use of stamped impressions, stains, and airbrushed accents is simply amazing to me. Here are images of her work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc McMillan 48 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Gabriele Koch in the UK.http://www.gabrielekoch.co.uk/index.htm Her work just speaks to me and always has. While she does mostly handbuilding and I wheel work I'd absorb everything she had to offer. I'd mop the floors to spend time in that studio.

Marcia Selsor 1,871 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Gabriel Koch's work is really sumptuous..best word I can think of. Thanks for posting. I love it when someone 's work speaks to you.Miguel Molet's work also speaks to me. He is an experimenter in alternative firings and his terra sig work is awesome. Here is Miguel's webpage http://www.miguelmolet.com Marcia Marc McMillan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pres 2,355 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Had never heard of Miguel Molet. After googling, absolutely exquisite surface on understated form. Marvelous canvases. ChenowethArts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc McMillan 48 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Marcia, Miguels work is quite intriguing. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to have to brush up on my spanish so I can get more out of his site. I'm really digging the wall pieces. Marc Marcia Selsor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
