While I wholeheartedly salute Mr. you through Mashiko to Matsuzaki’s door Matsuzaki’s pots illustrate insightful teach­ ing points, while Rogers’ scholarship, clarity and eloquence raise the bar for us all. Matsuzaki’s work is congruent with his traditions, yet thoroughly his own, uniquely powerful, exquisitely approachable. We are indebted to the Pucker Gallery in Boston for bringing both of these impres­ sive artists to our shores. They, along with Ceramics Monthly, have been responsible for introducing me to pottery on the global scale, which has enriched my world and deepened my commitment to clay. Corinne Null, Bedford, NH The Value of Mentoring Beyond our parents, there are individuals who share an encouraging interest in us. These people may be coworkers, teachers, neighbors, retired individuals—they appear in many forms; they are mentors. I had a mentor, Don Schaumburg, professor emeritus at Arizona State Univer­ sity. I first met him when I was taking a second clay course (that many thought was beyond me) in the 1970s. I wanted to learn all of it so badly. One morning, as the gas kilns were being unloaded, I entered the kilnyard. Schaumburg and Randy Schmidt were standing at the opening of one of the kilns. I expressed to them my desire to learn how to fire the kilns. They looked at each other and then back at me. Schaumburg asked, “You sure?” Of course I was! He took me over to the 20-something 2x3-foot kiln shelves covered with kiln wash. “Clean these and we’ll see how you do,” he said. I worked on every last one. He taught me tradition. Over the years, I watched him throw pots in his studio, pull bowls and plates from the kilns, looking for that one piece that said everything. He greeted me at the kilns in the following years to see and discuss the firing results. After college, I would call and ask him technical questions. I did not take him for granted, but treasured his knowledge. He taught me a lifestyle. Continued Ceramics Monthly September 2004 10 letters tent, but this article reminded me of the school students, yet you never hear much importance of clear communication.

  • 9. Ceramic Arts
    Profile No.: 38 NIC Code: 23933 CEREMIC ARTS 1. INTRODUCTION: Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms including art ware, tile, figurines, sculpture, and tableware. Ceramic art is one of the arts, particularly the visual arts. Of these, it is one of the plastic arts. While some ceramics are considered fine art, some are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art objects. Ceramics may also be considered artifacts in archaeology. Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design, manufacture and decorate the art ware. Products from a pottery are sometimes referred to as "art pottery".[1] In a one-person pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat. It excludes glass and mosaic made from glass tesserae. There is a long history of ceramic art in almost all developed cultures, and often ceramic objects are all the artistic evidence left from vanished cultures. Elements of ceramic art, upon which different degrees of emphasis have been placed at different times, are the shape of the object, its decoration by painting, carving and other methods, and the glazing found on most ceramics. 2.

  • Oral History Interview with Viola Frey, 1995 Feb. 27-June 19
    Oral history interview with Viola Frey, 1995 Feb. 27-June 19 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Viola Frey on February 27, May 15 & June 19, 1995. The interview took place in oakland, CA, and was conducted by Paul Karlstrom for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview Session 1, Tape 1, Side A (30-minute tape sides) PAUL KARLSTROM: Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. An interview with Viola Frey at her studio in Oakland, California, February 27, 1995. The interviewer for the Archives is Paul Karlstrom and this is what we hope will be the first in a series of conversations. It's 1:35 in the afternoon. Well, Viola, this is an interview that has waited, I think, about two or three years to happen. When I first visited you way back then I thought, "We really have to do an interview." And it just took me a while to get around to it. But at any rate what I would like to do is take a kind of journey back in time, back to the beginning, and see if we can't get some insight into, of course, who you are, but then where these wonderful works of art come from, perhaps what they mean.
