Thanks L.P.
I'll start making calls in the a.m.! I didn't know they already had them out there. Will you be in Portland this march?
Take it easy,
Logan

Logan, there ARE posters of throwing techniques; call yer local pottery supply store, or call Steve Branfman and see if he carries them. Failing that, look at www.dickblick.com or other similar school art supply stores; they usually have poster sets for the classroom.

I sure wish SOMBODY who has written a book before would put enough pictures like the one Mel has been wonderfull enough to share with us into a coffee table book or, even onto posters we could put up in our studios! I wouldn't even know how to start a project like these but I do know I would buy the book or the posters!

Dear Logan;
If you have a Macintosh machine, you can import all the pics you wish
from everywhere, organize them into a 'book' in iFoto, and send the
whole shebang off to Apple for printing into a hardcover full color
book. Amazing!
Or, a large full color poster file on disc, which you can take to your
photo/digital processor for printing onto a large poster.
Cheers, Hank

This post brought to mind a photo in one of my early books of the then
famous Italian sculptor Marini (Martini?) creating a sculpture in his
black suit dressed to the nines, looking very austere. I later found
that he had many helpers who rolled the slabs, cut them into the forms
he wanted and all he did was put them together with everyone handing him
the pieces he needed. No wonder he didn't get messed up from the clay.
There was an exhibit of his work in Petoskey back in the early 70's
where he depicted different professions in his interesting slab
construction style. I purchased a Nun Sewing. It is so fragile but
with every move I made in different parts of the country, I always
packed it well so it would not get broken. This last move, however, it
still resides in its own little box in storage.
When I went to Japan in the 70's, I met a potter who had much
professional as well as physical stature in Japan, was entertained in
his home showroom. One of his pots caught my attention and later on the
trip I bought a beautiful book illustrating Japanese crafts. There was
that pot. Wish I could have purchased it when I had the chance. I do
have a little book that he wrote though, but it is all in his language,
however the pictures speak to me.
I guess, Logan, that part of the joy in clay is finding these old books
with photos (usually black and white) of the old time potters working.
When I visited Meaders Pottery in the 80's his old studio was in a small
barn. He had a stand up treadle wheel but through the many years of
working in that same spot, the ground under his feet was the original
level, but the surrounding clay floor was above with the accumulated
clay trimmings so he would have to step up to take the pot to his ware
shelving. I should print my slide of him working and blow that up to
hang in my studio.

Dear Bonnie Staffel,=20
In the early 1900's My Dad was a student at Sheffield School of Art. His =
forte at that time was sculpture . He used to tell about the Plaster Rep =
who came around to give demonstrations, in a dark charcoal pin stripe =
suite, complete with vest.
Doing no more than push his coat sleeves back a touch, he would mix the =
plaster and then sling it at the clay model in a manner that I would =
think imitates that illustrated in Wong and Whitford. Never, never ever, =
would speck splash back. When he had finished he would go to the bucket =
of water and rinse his hands, then dry them on a towel.=20
They were serious craftsmen in those days.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
