I'm with Gayle...Bonnie Staffel is one of my favorite Hero's also.
She has studied with Harvey Littleton when he was making pottery. =
Attended workshops and studied with Marguerite and Franz Wildenhain, =
Peter Voulkos and Paul Soldner when they were emerging pottery stars. =
She's influenced countless pottery students as program director and =
teacher at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North =
Carolina. She's fired pottery in a "Production Reduction" kiln which was =
an early predecessor to the gas/electric kiln that has been talked about =
so much on Clayart... except it used charcoal to reduce an electric =
kiln... she knows things....pottery things
And her work is fantastic....If you have not seen Bonnie's latest =
