While in the White House former Vice President Walter Mondale, and his
wife Joan, were big advocates of handmade pottery.
Ceramics Monthly, sometime during that period, did a wonderful spread
showing a dinner setting in which the Mondale's had commissioned potters fr=
om
across the US to make individual dinnerware place settings.
I think Joan took a class or two from Warren Mackenzie but it wasn't so
much her work, but the work of others, that she promoted.

Actually if memory serves me correctly, it was John Glick who made the
whole dinner service, and it was for the Vice Presidential mansion,
not the White House.

Hey Paul,
That sounds about right but I seem to recall a set by Cynthia Bringle as
well?
I'm a huge fan of John's work, so I certainly would expect him to be in
such a collection, but it's been many years.
