Susan:
I was just in Boston this summer, and had a great time. Three words of advise:
1. Eat at Figs. We were there for 4 nights, and like it so much we ate there
twice. It's great.
2. Skip the Glass Flower exhibit at Harvard. Everyone says it's really cool,
but it's more for the botany major then the art enthusiast. They were made to
be biologically correct for instructional purposes, which is amazing, but kinda
boring once you've seen one or two. (Just my opinion)
3. If you can get out of town, we REALLY enjoyed Plymouth Plantation. I know,
it sounds stupid, but it was fascinating. There is a pottery studio there which
makes pieces that look like things potters made in the time period -- which is
interesting, but not the highlight.
Anyways, that's my two cents. You're welcome to contact me directly if you want
more details about our trip.

Dear Susan,
Be sure to visit the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, -great ceramics
collection. Also Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum (close to the
BMFA) has some incredible things, majolica tiles (mislabled according to
some as being from Puebla, Mexico . . more likely European)
Enjoy the food and the big city.

Dear ClayArters, I will be spending a few days in downtown Boston around
the weekend of June 7th, and would be grateful for any tips of interesting
studios, galleries, shops etc. in Beantown. Yes, I'll be browsing up and
down Newbury Street, but I'd like to know of any little out-of-the-way
spots that you guys might know about. (They need not be strictly ceramics
oriented). Thanks much, Ken.

Suggest you go to Cambridge to HHaaa(r)va(r)d Squuaa(r)e and check out
Urban Outfitters, the coop and various good shops and galleries.
Casa Mexico has good food.

I am going to Boston in about two weeks. I will not have a car. Can
anyone in that area tell me how I can get to Needham? train? bus? I
really want to go to The Potters Shop.
Thanks, Juliet - in Mississippi where the humidity is higher than the
temperature.

Hi everyone,
Well my trip to Providence is coming up soon and now I'll are flying into
Boston. Any ideas on who to see or what to do? May hop over to NH or Maine.
I'll be there Mon-Wed Nov. 15-17. the weekend will be busy with family.
Thought I could go whale watching but I understand the last boats are the end
of Sept. Any advise will be appreciated. I would also like to visit a clay
supply house.Always looking for new stuff.
TIA
Diane from water logged Miami
Debby Grant on thu 21 oct 99
Dear Diane,
If you decide to hop over to NH there's a show of Jun Kuneko's work
at the gallery at St. Paul's school in Concord. There's also the opening
of the Maxfield Parrish exhibit at the Currier Gallery in Manchester on
Nov. 6. Then, of course, there's always the MFA in Boston, which
has some very good permanent pottery exhibits.
Have fun, Debby Grant in NH

I don't know about art shows, but I was just in Boston and was blown away by
the IMAX theater in 3D at the New England Aquarium! Since people are
talking fish movies...
The one we saw was of the Coral Reefs and was absolutely incredible!
Imagine an actual movie of a shark that comes about 1 inch from your nose,
"swimming" among the kelp beds off the coast of California, and much more.
We were awestruck!

Pucker Gallery on Newberry Street. They have Brother Thomas' work, Phil
Rogers' work, Japanese work, Hamada pot. A jewel of a place.

The place I love most in downtown Boston is the Pucker Gallery at 171
Newbury Street. They have pots by Shimaoka, Phil Rogers, and several
other master potters. Don't be shy, just ask them to show you the work
and they will take you upstairs on the tiny elevator and reveal the
treasure rooms!
http://www.puckergallery.com/index.html
Nearby is the Society of Arts and Crafts at 175 Newbury Street. The
exhibit space on the second floor always has a knock-your-socks-off
exhibit of some form of craft.
http://www.societyofcrafts.org/default.asp
From there you can go one block over to Boylston St, check out the Public
Library. The old building has beautiful mosaics and murals that have
recently been restored, and a peaceful courtyard where you can catch your
breath.
Hop on the Green Line subway (E train) or the #39 bus (stop is on Copley
Square across from the Copley Plaza Hotel stone lions). Take the bus up
to the Museum of Fine Arts, where there are some nice Haniwa figures and
Oribe ware in the Japanes section, some lovely Korean celadons, lots of
Greek pots and little hand-lamps made of clay, and the best part - right
by the information desk - some Mayan burial pots.
Check out the galleries at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Mass
College of Art, both within a couple of blocks. This time of year there
should be some thesis shows going on.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is also right there, and is worth a
trip to see the courtyard and the Sargent painting of the flaminco
dancer.
I really miss Boston. Can you tell?

Just wanted to thank those who responded to my request for pottery in
Boston.
The number one answer was Pucker Gallery on Newbury Street and it was
awesome. On the first floor were Hamada pieces. After talking to someone
we were taken to the floors 2-4 which are locked and you need to be
escorted. The woman who took us around was very nice and was willing to
spend as much time as we wanted.
I was amazed at the pottery. The number of pieces, the variety, etc.
I could have sat on the floor in each of the room for hours and just stared
around the room. I wouldn't have been bored. I would have found more to
look at. And then when I picked up the piece, I could have spent hours
looking at and holding each one. She didn't mind if I touched. It was
unbelieveable.
If you ever get the opportunity, I highly recommend the Pucker Gallery.

Marie: I don't know a great deal about galleries in the Providence area, but
the one terrific place to see pots in Boston is the Pucker Gallery on
Newbury St. There's a show up now of Makoto Yabe's work, and if you ask them
one of the people at the gallery will take you upstairs to see lots and lots
of other pots, including work by Phil Rogers, Brother Thomas Bezanson,
anonymous African potters, a number of Japanese potters, some by Tatsuzo
Shimaoka. Downstairs on display in the office there are even some Hamada
pots. Don't be afraid to ask to see the pots that are in their upstairs
room; they're very willing to do it, very nice about it and the pots are
definitely worth seeing.
