There is a website in honor and memory of PacRim friend and colleague Richard Knight, who passed away over a year ago: Mikeandphilonthehill.blogspot.com. Mike and Phil were special friends for many years and when you go there you get directed to a site devoted to Richard. It has images of many of his pieces, some of which were displayed in PacRim shows. It also mentions his book, Saarinen's Quest, and has information about how people can order one or go to local libraries to see a copy.

November 10th General Meeting

noreply@blogger.com (Susan Peterson) — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 18:04:00 +0000

CLAY NATURALLY
A REVIEW OF THE
NOVEMBER 10 MEETING
Lorraine Rosenblatt Administrator
It wasn’t surprising with such renown speakers, that the attendance at our November 10th meeting at Fort Mason, was over 40 people. There was a mixture of people - members, artists who are not yet members, and art students.

Daniel Keegan, Director of the San Jose Museum of Art, gave a very delightful slide presentation and talk on the clay history and works that are in the San Jose Museum of Art collection.

An engaging shaman with clay, Arthur Gonzales, Department Chair at CCA, presented slides of his work and spoke about the methods he has developed to craft his clay sculptures.

John Toki is a well-known clay sculptor whose pieces have been displayed all over the Bay Area. John’s insightful talk along with his slide presentation, concentrated on the thought processes he goes through to make the large scale pieces he executes so well.

After the speakers, there was a very lively question and answer concentrating on the state of clay art and its impact on society.
