Mark Pharis Large Ceramic Vase
About the Item
From his website:
My introduction to ceramics began in the fall of 1967 at the University of Minnesota. As I began my education at the University, I found my way into several art classes and eventually the clay studio. I had been encouraged by my best friend’s parents to study with Warren MacKenzie, which I eventually did. It was a transformational experience. I studied with a cohort of talented and committed undergraduate students at the University until 1971. In the summer of 1973 I set up a pottery studio in a rural area outside of Houston, MN and produced work in that studio until 1989. In 1985 I joined the Department of Art at the University of Minnesota as a faculty member. I served as the chair of the department from 1998 to 2004 and as Associate Dean in CLA from 2005-2008.
Nearly all of my early work was functional, wheel thrown and "once fired" in a wood and oil fired kiln. Since 1992 I have worked exclusively in earthenware. Today, my work is hand built from forms cut from slabs using two-dimensional paper patterns. The process owes much to the traditions of pattern making found in sewing and sheet metal work. I think about and use geometry while making these pieces. However, it is casual, intuitive and not derived from serious math.

Large Rounded Ceramic Vase by Albert Green
Located in Dallas, TX
A potter and painter, Albert Green (1914 - 1994) earned an international reputation for his ceramics, stoneware, and canvases. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, he studied painting at the Art Students League in New York City, supporting himself with retail jobs selling men’s clothing. But in 1946 a chance encounter with a display of contemporary Japanese pottery inspired him on the spot to switch from painting to pottery. Green learned pottery techniques through engineering manuals and applied his knowledge of college chemistry to teach himself glazing. “In those days I looked at pots constantly,” he said. “I’d travel 100 miles to look at a good pot. I simply taught myself.”
He took his painting skills and applied them to his clay works, creating pieces that critics praised for their painterly qualities and subtle sense of color. In 1976, he retired from the retail clothing...
