Barb Lund on sat 9 jan 99
Last Saturday, Indiana lost one of its finest potters to ovarian cancer.
Barb Bihler was one terrific person and potter par excellance. I don't
have a whole lot of details of her early life but I know that she was born
in New York, went Valparaiso College in Indiana, worked at Lill St Studios
in Chicago,and worked and lived in Bloomington, In. for the last 20 or so
years. She leaves behind her son Jason Schmidt, many many friends, her
former husband Walt Schmidt, her father, 2 sisters and a brother and their
families. Barb was only 47. I know that there are folks out on clayart who
have known her over the years through shows, The Gallery in Bloomington,
Indiana University and just because she was an extraordinarily fine artist.
I shall miss her terribly. Services will be this Sunday, weather
cooperating.
other Barb in Bloomington. Barb Bihler was "first" Barb and I was
"other"Barb. At one point she had the idea that she and I should set up
shop together and call it "2 Barbs, No Waiting"
