pattern — past to present

Forrest Lesch-Middelton
Using silkscreen and embossment transfers, Petaluma artist Forrest Lesch-Middelton, explores the use of pattern as a vehicle to express historical trends and changes of culture. Form, volume, surface and technology come together in his everyday ceramic objects that elicit a visceral and intellectual response. Forrest is the ceramics program director of the Sonoma Community Center and has taught at various Bay Area colleges including Santa Rosa Jr. College, City College of San Francisco, and Solano College. Pre-registration required. Class FA2VA • Sat, Nov 12, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Edmund de Waal Part 1: on location

A video via the V&A Channel

“We visit the South London studio of an artist who threw his first pot at the age of five and who has emerged as one of Britain’s leading ceramicists and the creator of the beautiful V&A installation, Signs and Wonders”

Amazing video of an artist and his work. One thing I couldn’t help but notice is how he plays with a piece of clay while talking. Such a small simple act that I think so many of us as makers do when in the studio and conversing. Like the tactile part of our brains is always craving engagement.

And here’s part two:
