MACRO, chapman, hammond, course, Saul, ball Wilson or chilcott
I found possible matches for 5 of these people, 2 of whom seem still to be
doing ceramics (one in academe.) The 3rd. did study ceramics in college,
and the 2 others have an art career, but don't mention ceramics studies, if any.

I could find nothing on attempting to earn a Guinness record for throwing
pottery on the wheel.
