Why do your pots look like that? Why are we obsessed with teapots and not Peruvian stirrup-spouted vessels or Zulu beer pots? How do you make sense out of all the different potters you see on your insta feed?
Join Henry Grosman & Theo Helmstadter for a talk exploring these questions with slides, stories, conversation, and real pots by Leach, Minagawa Masu, Shimaoka, Hamada. Thank you Brian Balmert for providing work from your collection!
How did a niche aesthetic theory rooted in a love of Korean folk pottery migrate from pre-war Japan to England to post-war America? How it is still relevant today & why does it show up in disciplines such as fashion and architecture?
It’s going to be air-conditioned & fun, wine & refreshments, pictures & pots.
Please fill out a registration if you plan to attend so we can plan.

Cost: 0
Location: Green River Pottery on Lena Street, Santa Fe (upstairs in the ‘A3’ studio)
