I've noticed several people have shared information on good galleries to
see on Clayart. I will be going to San Francisco for the first time ever
all the way from NY at the beginning of April. If any one can suggest
some good galleries or even good places to vist north and south of San
Fran, I would be grateful.

Start your clay crawl in Berkeley, California. The Berkeley Potters
Guild, at 731 Jones Street is a good place to start. There are eighteen
member artists at the guild. Within walking distance of the guild are:
Mary Law (@1421 5th St.), Gary Holt (@1449 5th St.) and Robert Brady at
the TRAX Gallery (1306 3rd St., along the R.R. tracks). Saturday is your
best bet since not all galleries are open weekdays. Ask for a map to other
studios at your first stop or call (415)845-2612 and arrive prepared. There are
many great museums and galleries in and around San Francisco. For a
more regional guide call (415)921-1600 for the S.F. Bay Area Gallery
Guide. I hope you love your trip to one of the most beautiful cities in
the world.

Hi Katy Sheridan,
I read your message about the Mingei seminar with
interest. I am a Mingei disciple having studied for three years in Japan.
If there is a report produced or some kind of paper at the end of the
seminar I would like to obtain a copy so would appreciate any information
you go let me have after you have attended.
Regards.

suggestions about shops, galleries, potters, shows that might be of
interest in the city (no car).

------------------
I will leave it to someone else to talk about the pottery viewing
opportunities in San Francisco. Hopefully the following restaurants
are still open:
Sam Nee in the Japan Town Pavillion . Good Eats, noodles (Soba Udon)
with or without broth, a cheap excellent place for lunch, good for
kids too if they are adventurous eaters. The serve some dishes in
ceramic bullet trains. When I was last there =3C=3C=245.
El Faros Burritos . a chain has wonderful Vege Burritos.
Good Old Uncle Gaylords Icecream I am afraid went belly up, but if
they still exist they have fine homemade type icecream made with real
ingredients.
The Tasahara Bread Company produces the best commercial breads I have
ever eaten.
The Rainbow Grocery Store, no frills, is probably the best AND
cheapest place in the U.S. to buy food. Say hi to Stuart Fishman in
the Produce department if you go there.
The Farmers Market just under the freeway from the intersection of Bay
Shore and Industrial is a good place to go on Saturday Mornings. If
you enjoy yourself, mail me a bottle of Don Adams Olive Oil, PLEASE.
The Commercial Produce Terminal has a restaurant in it. It is marginal
food but a very colorful place to eat at 3 or 4 am. Don't get it
confused with the Southside Produce Terminal.
Don't miss the Museum MEchanique if it is still under the Cliff House.
It has wonderful coin operated toys. Put a nickel in the clown for me.

Rick Sherman on tue 30 sep 97
Louis Katz mentioned some good choices for eating in San Francisco.
Let me add a few more. Greens, at Fort Mason, excellent vegetarian
recipes and view of the bay. Oritalia, just off Japantown on
Fillmore. California cuisine with oriantal flourishes. Try the seared
Ahi. Try Cafe Mums in the Myako Hotel in Japantown. Imaginative and
stylish cooking. South of Market street, try the Ops Cafe in the
Museum of Modern Art. Great for lunch of soup and salad. If you like
Mexican, try the Cadillac Bar and Grill on Holland Court. A real fun
place for hearty lunch or dinner is Max's Diner on 3rd street. That
should keep us
busy for awhile.

I will be in San Francisco (on foot) Napa, and Sonoma areas (driving) January
17 - 24 and wonder what museums, galleries, shops, studios, etc. to plan to
visit which focus on clay. Functional and historic works are personal
favorites but I'm open to anything. Glad to give similar advice for the
Baltimore/Washington area. Thanks

Winnie,
The San Francisco area has great architectural Terra Cotta on
hundreds of buildings. Much of it was designed and built by Gladding
McBean, a company founded in the late 1800s and still going strong
(although now making mostly roofing and sewer tiles). There is an
excellent book on this company, which features many of the San Francisco
buildings, as well as some in Oakland. If you are walking around San
Francisco, just look up at any of the older buildings, and you will see
this great decoration everywhere.
One of the best ceramics exhibits is the entire front facade of the
Paramount theater in Oakland. It's definitely worth a visit, as there
aren't many places where you can see a mural eight stories high all in
beatiful tile! It's in the downtown area and easy to find. You might
also catch an organ concert while you're at it.
Oakland is also home to the Oakland museum, which has some oriental
ceramics, as I recall. The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco has an
extensive collection of ceramic objects from throughout Asia, and is
definitely of interest.
Palo Alto and other peninsula cities with a Spanish flavor have many
buildings with decorative tiles on them, and the chapel at Stanford is
particularly well known. Palo Alto has a very nice community center with
a large ceramics center and many excellent artists who work there. They
often have exhibits, and it's worth just looking around. It's on Newell
Road, near Middlefield. Also, on the side streets off of University
Ave., are many galleries with ceramic arts.
For more, I'd check across the bay in Berkeley - there are a number
of studios on Fourth street, the section three blocks north of
University Blvd, that could certainly steer you in the right direction.
While you are on Fourth street, stop at Bette's Oceanview Diner for a
strawberry malt!
Happy hunting.

Hi Winnie - To add to the Berkeley aspect of pottery, here's a few more
suggestions:
ACCI Gallery - 1652 Shattuck Ave. Berkeley (510) 843-2527 - Large variety of
art and craft works featuring works by many potters in the Bay Area. Many
functional. Also jewelry, paintings and other art work.
The Potters Guild - on Fourth Street at Jones in Berkeley. They have a
gallery that features the works of the many ceramic artists there. Also great
variety. I think its only open on weekends. Sorry I can't find a phone number
- I'm sure there's guild members on this list, maybe one of them can fill in
the details.
Trax Gallery - 1306 Third St, Berkeley. Yes, it's right on the railroad
tracks. Smallish gallery with nice display and layout. Mostly functional
pottery.
Leslie Ceramics Supply. A local ceramics supply store that recently remodeled
to make room for a gallery. The gallery usually has the work of one featured
artist at a given time, frequently non functional or installations, but
there's some other work by notable ceramic artists on display also. They also
have the whole range of supplies you find in any ceramics supply place, so you
can pick up any tools or other things you may be looking for.
All these are within 5 - 10 minutes of each other and yes, fourth street just
north of University Avenue in Berkeley is a flourishing haven of fine (and
expensive) shops for clothing, furniture, cooking, gardening, etc. shops. Nice
place to sit in the sun and have a cup of Peets coffee (our local brew - puts
Starbucks to shame) or a smoothie (if you're planning to sleep anytime in the
next 16 hours).

Winnie,
If you go to Berkeley, don't forget Oakland!
Visit Studio One Art Center

Oakland, Ca 94602
Winter classes begin January 12 and run through March.
If you need to have something to eat while you are in Oakland, Piedmont

Hi Maurice,
Ahhhh...
When I used to go there, it was very charming, gentle...though on-the-skids=
.
Hell, South-of-Market was pretty well all abandoned Buildings in those days=
.
They had a couple Steam-Tables of food-things, set up in the large main
room, and, a very simple fare.
Gravy-on-sliced-bread, or Gravy-on-Rice, 30 Cents,
Two-slices-of-Bread-and-Butter, 10 Cents... Coffee, 5 Cents I think...and,
they were still using pre-war Table Settings, and heavy Ceramic single-serv=
e
Creamers and soon.
Food-personnel looked like retired Merchant Marines, gangly, blurry Tattoos=
,
weathered faces, solid manners.
Clientele was almost entirely guys over 80, sometimes way over...wearing
Suits and crooked Bow Ties...everyone smoked pretty much...little
pressed-metal Ashtrays on every table...
Very peaceful and serene...delicate even, in it's way...'dim' lighting...no
canned music or any BS in any way.
That tall Ceiling and enormous elaborate Back Bar...spacious...
Back Bar probably had Float-Glass Mirrors brought in from Belgium.
I remember they had a Penny Weigh-yourself Scale near the front entrance.
Everything clean-and-tidy...enough...
Old people were interesting then...
An 88 year old guy, in 1968...would have been born in 1880, and, if born in
San Francisco, probably could elaborate well on how he spent April 18th,
1906 ( the 'Great Fire and Quake' ), The Pan Pacific Exhibition, the
beginning, and end, of 'Prohibition'...the building and opening of the
Golden Gate Bridge, and, a lot else.
The sure don't make old people like they used to...
...sigh...
