A dialogue spanning 54 years between Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, two potters who have shaped the craft... Now in his eighties, Bernard Leach has compiled letters, tape- recorded interviews, articles previously unpublished in English and illustrations of the works of his friend and colleague, Shoji Hamada, into a documentary alive with ideas. The book takes the form of a dialogue, beginning with the two potters' pioneering years in England and Japan. Hamada speaks about natural materials and techniques, about inspiration, aesthetics and collecting, and about Coleshill, 1929: standing left to right: Leach, Soetsu Yanagi, his way of life. The friendship of two near-legendary men culminates Hamada; seated: Henry Bergen, No rah Brad en, Michael Cardew, in this profile of Hamada, who points a way for the craft world Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie's mother and sister.

If it is solidi- fied and produced as an object, then it is real. Leach: Hamada's pots articulate like an oak tree, the bones of structure are not concealed, the modulations of form are intuitive, and all his pots stand firm on their feet. The origi- nality is hidden behind the most direct and ordinary and it is born not of theory but from constant practice and dose familiarity with his tools and materials, with nature behind it all. by Bernard Leach preface by Janet Leach — with 88 photographs of Hamada pots 300 pages; 40 pages color, 40 pages b/w plates; 8-5/8" x 11-7/8" $50.00 HAMADpublished by KODANSHA INTERNATIONAL A SPECIAL PRICE FOR READERS OF CRAFT HORIZONS $42.50 plus postage and handling Please send me copy(ies) of HAMADA by Bernard Leach at the special price to Craft Horizons readers of Publications Department $42.50 plus $1.00 handling.

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.

It came to itself and is for this moment without him or her, not brought about by him or her but is itself and in this sudden seeing of itself, we make the final choice. What if it has come to be without external to us and what we read it to be then and heighten it toward that reading? If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it. External and forget the internal ordering that brought it about and without the final decision of what that ordering was about and our emphasis of it, other eyes would miss the chosen point and feel the lack of emphasis.

  • By Joseph Aquino December 17, 2019 - New York City
    New York’s changing department store landscape - by Joseph Aquino December 17, 2019 - New York City Department stores come and go. When one goes out of business, it’s nothing unusual. But consider how many have gone out of business in New York City in just the past generation: Gimbels, B. Altman, Mays, E. J. Korvette, Alexanders, Abraham & Straus, Gallerie Lafayette, Wanamaker, Sears & Roebuck, Lord & Taylor, Bonwit Teller, and now Barneys New York—and those are just the ones I remember. The long-time survivors are Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman and Macy’s. The new kids on the block are Nordstrom (which has had a chance to study their customer since they have operated Nordstrom Rack for some time) and Neiman-Marcus, which has opened at Hudson Yards with three levels of glitz, glam, luxury, and fancy restaurants. It’s unfortunate to see Lord & Taylor go, especially to be taken over by a group like WeWork, which has been on a meteoric rise to the top of the heap and controls a lot of office space. I was disappointed at this turn of events but I understood it, and was not surprised. Lord & Taylor had the best ladies’ department (especially for dresses) in Manhattan. I know, because I try to be a good husband, so I shop with my wife a lot! But that was a huge amount of space for the company to try to hold onto. Neither does the closing of Barneys comes as any shock. I frequented Fred’s Restaurant often and that was the place to see and be seen.

  • Artist's Proposal
    Gabbert Artist’s Proposal 14th Street Roundabout Page 434 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for this opportunity. For your consideration I propose a work tentatively titled “Flame”. I believe it to be simple-yet- compelling, symbolic, and appropriate to this setting. Dimensions will be 20 feet high by 14.5 feet wide by 14.5 feet deep. It sits on a 3.5 feet high by 9 feet in diameter base. (not accurately dimensioned in the 3D graphics) The composition. The design has substance, and yet, there is practically no impediment to drivers’ visibility. After review of the design by a structural engineer the flame flicks may need to be pierced with openings to meet the 150 mph wind velocity requirement. I see no problem in adjusting the design to accommodate any change like this. Fire can represent our passions, zeal, creativity, and motivation. The “flame” can suggest the light held by the Statue of Liberty, the fire from Prometheus, the spirit of the city, and the hearth-fire of 612.207.8895 | jgsculpture.webs.com | [email protected] 14th Street Roundabout Page 435 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor home. It would be lit at night with a soft glow from within. A flame creates a sense of place because everyone is drawn to a fire. A flame sheds light and warmth. Reference my “Hopes and Dreams” in my work example to get a sense of what this would look like. The four circles suggest unity and wholeness, or, the circle of life, or, the earth/universe.
