Kate Maury, in an Architectural Context Clay Culture: Pacifi C Standard Time Mr Cover: Kate Maury, in an Architectural Context Clay Culture: Pacifi c Standard Time Mr. Bailey’s Museum of Wonders Spotlight: Clay at Otis “My Brent CXC is 24 years old and still handles all the clay I can pile on and has never had to be repaired! I don’t expect to ever have to replace it.” George McCauley Photo: Tom Ferris brentwheels.com The Beauty & Magic of the Shino Carbon Trap Lou Raye Nichol My work focuses on carbon trapped porcelain. When I first saw the accidental results it produces, I was enthralled. There is a magic in opening a kiln full of surprises. The beauty of the effects created by this method can be breathtaking. Their unpredictability can be humbling – pots that I thought of as throw-away have turned out to be the most successful. I had to change the way I make pots because of the complexity of the glazes. With Shino Carbon Trap glazes, I am always push- ing to see how much is too much. I chose a Bailey gas kiln because it was highly recom- mended at the shino carbon trap workshops I had attended. Our teacher fired all his shinos in a Bailey. I had never fired a gas kiln on my own when I started, so this was a great leap for me. With significant support from the Bailey team, I have become comfortable managing such sensitive firings. Their responsiveness to my technical questions, and interest in my results has been invaluable. This is a great kiln, and my firing results confirm that I made the right choice. Bailey Shino Carbon Trap Workshop May 25th, 26th, 27th 2012 Join Lou Raye Nichol, Jim Bailey, Jeff Shapiro, Les Richter, and Regis Brodie featuring a Shino Carbon Trap firing which will include: special Shino CT glazing techniques, carbon trap and reduction fir- ing techniques (with oxygen probes & data loggers) slide presentations, demonstrations, and more.

ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL 2013–2014 Cover: GIUSEPPE PENONE Italian, born 1947 Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012 Bronze with gold leaf 433 1/16 x 96 3/4 x 79 in. (1100 x 245.7 x 200.7 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2014.728 While arboreal imagery has dominated Giuseppe Penone’s sculptures across his career, monumental bronzes of storm- blasted trees have only recently appeared as major themes in his work. Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.

  • Tea Break with Otto Heino Carol Selfridge
    Tea Break with Otto Heino Carol Selfridge Despite the value of the Canadian loonie plunging and El Nino raging on the coast of Southern California, two incautious Canadian potters decided to leave an unusually warm Canadian winter and go south. When Richard and I picked up our rental car in Los Angeles and blasted up the San Diego freeway toward Santa Barbara I began to feel myself shift into the California ease of cars, freeways, hills and balmy breezes. After a brief visit with family in Santa Barbara, during which the fierce rains were punctuated by moderate amounts of sunshine, we ventured south and east to Ojai in the now lush California hills. Half an hour from Santa Barbara, Ojai has a reputation as the Californian's escape from the urban urgency of Los Angeles. For two collaborative potters it had the attraction as the home of Beatrice Wood (the 105-year-old potter) not to be confused with Beatrix Potter (the bunny lady) and the home of Otto Heino of Otto and Vivika Heino, legends of American ceramics. Otto's Studio showroom Ojai has a very pleasant shopping street dotted with small galleries, cappuccino cafes, garden shops and a small European bakery. When we expressed a desire to visit Otto, the manager at one of the galleries responded enthusiastically. "He opens at 1:00 P.M. I'll call him up for you." We arranged to drive up for a visit but not before stopping at that bakery for three cinnamon Danish. Passing beautiful orange groves that line McAndrew Road, we arrive at The Pottery and are greeted by two friendly Scottish border collies followed by Otto himself.
