The Potters Cast

 It was a privileged to have been recently interviewed by Paul Blais, founder and host, for his podcast, "The Potters Cast". Paul has been doing interviews with ceramicists from around the globe for quite a few years. Here is the link to hear the discussion he and I had centering around my "Lifetime In Clay". The actual conversation with me begins around minute 16. You can fast forward to that point in order to expedite your listening experience.

Higashida Shigemasa at Lacoste Gallery

 Since learning of Higashida-san's oribe glazed ceramics several years ago, I have been in awe of his work. He has kind enough to provide me information via emails, and exhibited in the sakeware show  I curated at Stratford Gallery in England. Yesterday (Saturday, April 5th) was a wonderful experience in that I got to meet him in person at Lucy Lacoste Gallery in Concord, MA. He and his wife were here from Japan for the opening of his solo exhibition. This is a picture of the two of us standing in front of one of his oribe platters.
