| Description:Ripples: Marguerite Wildenhain and her Pond Farm students by Billie Sessions (2002-07-30) - Softcover. Marguerite Wildenhain (1896-1985) was a Bauhaus trained Master Potter. Born in Lyon, France her familymoved first to Germany then to England and later at the “onset of WWI” back to Germany. There Wildenhain first encountered the Bauhaus – a school of art and design that strove to bring the elevated title of artist back to its origin in craft – holding to the idea that a good artist was also a good craftsperson andvice versa. Most modern and contemporary design can be traced back to the Bauhaus, which exalted bleekness and functionality along with the ability to mass produce objects. Edith Heath was a potter and gifted form giver who started Heath Ceramics in 1946 where it continues today in its original factory in Sausalito, California. She is considered an influential mid-century American potter whose pottery is one of the few remaining. Under new ownership Heath Ceramics has been revitalized maintaining the sleek design and functionality first championed by Edith herself. | |||||||||||||||
