Our discussion of the "10 Most Well-Known" potters led me to want to develop my
personal catalog of the pioneers of American ceramics. The exercise left me somewhat
in awe of the array of talents that has been ours to study and follow.
The next thing would be to develop the huge list of talents working from say, 1970
onward who were the students and apprentices of these folks...
