Strictly for Production Potters Ten to fifteen years ago, CM’s format was geared more toward the average to above average hobbyist. Today the format of the magazine is strictly for the produc­ tion potter with his own earthy studio in the hills of Tennessee or Georgia. Sorry to say, I think Ceramics Monthly has lost a larger part of the population. Sandra Peck Blue Island, 111. Suggestions Supplier Some of those clever “Suggestions from Readers” help us clay suppliers, too. For instance, in addition to stocking the normal chemicals and clay, I have found that I can stay one step ahead of the competition by stocking items such as old long-playing record albums for lifting wet pots from the wheelhead, and butter (margarine, actually) for applying to handles and tea­ pot spouts. One other hot item is ladies’ hosiery for cleaning porcelain greenware. (We sell quite a few with garters still attached to the kinkier element, I might add.) We tried carrying used leather chaps for throwing aprons, but all the cowboys around here got wise and claimed there was a shortage. Then they beganto raise their prices so high that it was no longer feasible to keep them in stock. Well, keep up the good work. John Williams Dallas Subscribers’ Comments With everything being so radical in our daily lives in view of world peace, why must there be so much emphasis placed on radical potters? Kick back, be mellow. Cathie K. Morrow Salem, Ore. There is much that is of value in CM, but the celebration of gimmickry and tech­ nical tours-de-force is always depressing. Of course, if current trends are depressing, coverage of them is bound to be also. Constance Sherman Garrison, N.Y.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

    FY 2012 Annual Report Dear Members and Friends, We launched Fiscal Year 2012 (July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012) with the Currier’s first video exhibition entitled Shifting Terrain. Organized by Assistant Curator Nina Bozicnik, the exhibition featured nine videos by seven accomplished regional artists, all of whom explored the theme of landscape in distinctive ways. From there, we reflected on the dynamic, turbulent decades of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s with iconic images in Backstage Pass: Rock and Roll Photography, organized by the Portland Museum of Art, Maine. The FY12 exhibition program celebrated the Currier’s own growing photography collection in a show organized by Kurt Sundstrom, A New Vision: Modernist Photography in Spring 2012. It included more than 103 striking images by Europeans and Americans who IMAGES expanded the boundaries of photography with a new abstracted COVER: A family visits the Museum approach to framing everyday subjects. during Vacation Week and enjoys a Drawing in the Gallery program.

The thirty craftsmen rep- resented, chosen from the hundreds of craftsmen of equal stature, are from every section of the country, of all ages, with every type of background and a wide variety of training. In illustrating the diversity of the work of the American craftsmen no attempt has been made, however, to explain this diversity in terms of geographical areas; cultural influences, or mingling of various art forms.
