“Warren Mackenzie” Profile

In 1952, at the age of 29 years, Warren MacKenzie built his first kiln in Minnesota. Since then, he has been earnestly creating and producing pottery for everyday use with a kiln that can fire 600 to 800 pieces at a time. But it was at one point, some time ago, that MacKenzie stopped inscribing his work with his initials, expressing his desire to remain a potter, and not a name.

Mr. MacKenzie’s policy is to produce a large volume of high quality pottery, and to supply it at a reasonable price. From shaping to glazing, the entire process is done by MacKenzie himself. Most of his work is functional. Teapots, bowls, platters, and more are primarily designed for everyday use. He employs a variety of high quality clays from all over, and blends them himself in order to keep costs low. MacKenzie’s clays are very fine grained, and his products are reasonably priced, since the artist himself feels they should be.

MacKenzie’s views on pottery originated with his reading of A Potter’s Book, written by renowned English potter Bernard Leach. Influenced by this simple and practical book, MacKenzie became Leach’s apprentice, and lived with him in England for two and a half years, starting in 1950. Bernard Leach, himself, had learned to make pottery in Japan, his studio filled with Asian ceramics. In this setting, MacKenzie was gradually drawn to the simplicity and subtlety of this functional, so-called mingei pottery made by nameless craftsmen. Also there were quite a number of works by Shoji Hamada, known as the father of Mashiko pottery.

Following his return to the United States, MacKenzie met Muneyoshi Yanagi, founder of Japan’s mingei movement, and Shoji Hamada, when they stopped in St. Paul, Minnesota on a lecture tour. The two were promoting the mingei aesthetic, according to which the beauty of handcrafted work is derived from its utility. Among the many things MacKenzie learned through his interchanges with the two was that cultivating the craft traditions born of daily living enriches people’s lives. This led him to coin the term “Mingeisota” to describe his pottery style.

While continuing to work as a potter, MacKenzie taught for many years at the University of Minnesota, instructing more than 3,000 students. MacKenzie has held workshops in the United States, Europe and South America, and ceramic artists who share his views on pottery can be found worldwide.

It is one of MacKenzie’s best-known principles that buyers are only allowed one purchase each at his exhibitions. His character is such that he wants as many people to enjoy them as possible, something which becomes apparent to his visitors. People who want to purchase his works must go to Minnesota to do so. In the showroom next to his studio, works of other potters are displayed, with only a small number of MacKenzie’s pottery. Visitors who wish to buy his work are instructed by a sign to leave money in a basket in the unmanned showroom. Then they wrap their purchases themselves. This unusual system has been in effect for many years.

In May 1999, the Minneapolis-based McKnight Foundation named Warren MacKenzie the recipient of the McKnight Distinguished Artist Award, which the Foundation established in 1988 to honor Minnesotans who had made important lifetime contributions to state and national culture.

The mingei aesthetic, derived from the discovery of beauty in everyday objects, and advocated in the lectures of Muneyoshi Yanagi, Shoji Hamada and Bernard Leach in the 1920s, is embodied in its pure and natural form in the 21st century in the works of potter Warren MacKenzie.

In Japan, with a very strong pottery tradition, it is estimated that there are several tens of thousands of potters. A wide variety of pottery is made all over Japan every day by its numerous potters and ceramic artists. The Japanese have a great love and appreciation for ceramics, and enjoy using them. Gallery Shunn (gallery gen’s Tokyo-based sister gallery) has a reputation for attracting some of Japan’s best ceramic artists. In May 1995, theWarren MacKenzie exhibition was held at Gallery Shunn in Tokyo. On the morning of the first day of the exhibition, people—well known and unknown alike—lined up for hours, some having traveled quite a distance, quietly waiting to attend the noon opening, and the exhibition was a sellout. At Warren MacKenzie and the Midwest Five exhibition held at gallery gen in 2006, again, MacKenzie’s works were sold out in one hour.Brief Biography

8000-year-old pottery, kilns found near Shahrud

Monday, March 13, 2006 - c2005 IranMania.com

LONDON, March 13 (IranMania) - A team of Iranian archaeologists has discovered kilns, some pottery, and several stone blades during the current phase of excavations at the 8000-year-old Deh-Kheyr tepe, which is located near Shahrud in Semnan Province.

?The discoveries indicate that the site might have been an industrial region in ancient times,? team director Hassan Rezvani told IRNA.

Excavations carried out over the past few years by Iranian and Japanese experts at Deh-Kheyr and Tappeh-Chakhmanq, south of Shahrud, resulted in the discovery of traces from the Neolithic era (circa 9000?8000 BC), putting the region on the archaeological map.

In the new phase of excavations, the cultural sequence of this era and previous periods will be studied, Rezvani said.

After the Neolithic era, people settled in the Shahrud region due to its hospitable environment, he added.

Shahrud is located 398 kilometers east of Tehran and the Deh-Kheyr tepe is 15 kilometers north of the city.

How it works:

The pot has a hole in the base with a tube running from it to near the inside top; thus it can be filled through the bottom then turned the right way up without spilling. For those of you old enough to remember, they are a bit like an inverted non-spill inkwell with spout and handle added.

The dispatch of troops to the Korean Peninsula by the Toyotomi Government, that is, the two wars "Bunroku" and "Keicho" (A.C. 1592 and 1597) are sometimes called the "Pottery Wars."

Through these two wars, Korean potters were brought to Japan by feudal lords of Kyushu and made to produce pottery through their skill in the lords' own fiefs. Due to this, Japan made great progress in pottery production. Korean techniques are roughly classified into "kickwheel" and "climbing kiln."

Tools for the potter's wheel

Various painting tools including a pair of compasses

In those days Japan had merely simple wheels to turn by hand. The kickwheel has another slab below the shaft of the revolving wheelslab. The potter can revolve the upper wheelslab by kicking the lower slab with his foot. For this, the potter can constantly use his both hands while freely revolving the wheel with his foot at the speed he desires. As a result, mass-production became possible.

The climbing kiln consists of a series of small chambers constructed on a hillside. The potter throws firewood into each chamber one after another from the lower level upward through the fire port on each side. Until that time, kilns used in Japan were "single-chamber celler kiln," which were built on a hillside by boring a hole through it. Introduction of this climbing kiln was an epoch-making event, resulting in preventing much waste of labor and firewood. Karatsu-ware, Ueno-ware, Takatori-ware, Satsuma-ware of Kyushu, and Hagi-ware of Honshu ware quick to adopt this climbing kiln.

In 1616, Risampei, a Korean potter, discovered porcelain stone in the Arita area (present Arita City of Kyushu) and made porcelain for the first time. This is called "Old-Imari-ware" and, based on this, a gorgeous color painting world was created, such as "Somenishiki-Imari-ware," "Kakiemon-ware, "Nabeshima-ware," etc.

When we thus look on the history of Japanese pottery, the role played by potters who came to Japan from Korea was very great and they added porcelain to the history of pottery.

As Coper himself once put it: "My concern is with extracting essence rather than with experiment and exploration... The wheel imposes its economy, dictates limits, provides momentum and continuity. Concentrating on continuous variations of simple themes I become part of the process: I am learning to operate a sensitive instrument which may be resonant to my experience of existence now - in this fantastic century. Practising a craft with ambiguous reference to purpose and function one has occasion to face absurdity. More than anything, somewhat like a demented piano-tuner, one is trying to approximate to a phantom pitch."

The Future Is Upon Us

The race is on between environmental destruction on a global scale and sustainable solutions. The finish line, in Jared Diamond's alarmed estimation, is only 50 years away. For Bruce Mau, sustainable solutions, already at hand, will win out. Diamond, too, hopes our civilization will learn from those in history who rose to their challenges and prospered, not suffer the fate of others who dithered and collapsed.

The decisive factor in our time is whether the consumer democracies that drive globalization are capable of the massive change that both Diamond and Mau agree is necessary over the next five decades.

In our increasingly hi-tech world, there is less and less room for items made by hand. Mass production wiped out most cobblers, coopers or potters. Yet some artisans, like Virginia potter Kevin Crow, have managed to revive an old trade by going to the very origins of the trade's technology. What they produce is art, and people want something with a personal touch.

Chinese ceramics were admired in Iraq for their shiny white surfaces and hard body. As neither the essential raw materials nor the appropriate firing technology were locally available, Islamic potters therefore created their own versions by covering finely potted yellow clay hemispherical bowls with a glaze that turned opaque after firing, creating ceramics that were described as "pearl cups like the moon." This technique offered the potters an ideal canvas for bold decorative designs, first in cobalt blue and then with "luster"; mixtures of copper and silver that were painted onto the glaze then fixed in a second firing.

2005.02.18

FUKUOKA -- An elderly potter who burned the body of a woman in his kiln after his friend forced him at gunpoint to carry out the grisly crime has been arrested, police said.
Potter Koichi Shimoyama, 61, from Kanada, has been accused of abandoning a body.

"I burned the body because my friend threatened me with a gun," officers quoted Shimoyama as saying. "I didn't know whose body it was."
