SUSAN TOOMEY FROST APPEARANCE AT THE RECENT LOS ANGELES
POTTERY SHOW  BOOK SIGNING EVENT

In connection with the publication of her long awaited book "Colors On Clay",
noted author and collector, Susan Toomey Frost made appearance January
23-24 during our recent show.  "Colors on Clay" brings to life the rich artistry,
designers and styles that brought the colorful tiles, bowls, plates and other
wares produced by the San Jose Workshops, in San Antonio, Texas into
prominence nationally.    The workshops were in operation from 1931
through 1977.   Susan Toomey Frost presents the first definitive account of
this intriguing story.  With more than 300 illustrations of tiles and related clay
objects, "Colors on Clay" provides a well-researched and lively
documentation of a previously unexamined aspect of Texas art.  The book,
published by
Trinity University Press
became  available  September 2009 for $45 in hardcover.
Susan Toomey Frost is the leading authority on San Jose decorative art tiles
and pottery produced by workshops in San Antonio and Mexico.  An avid
collector, she has written articles, given lectures and curated exhibitions.  
She may be reached at
www.susanfrost.org
As an added feature, longtime collector, author and dealer at The Los
Angeles Pottery Show, Carole Coates presented a case filled with pottery and
tiles from the San Jose Tile Workshops as part of our "Private Collection"
exhibition.  THIS WAS A MUST SEE EVENT!

Retirement For a Great Lady!

Barbara Willis, the doyenne of California Pottery turned
92 on June 29, 2009.  Barbara is a legend in California
pottery circles with a history going back to studying
ceramics at UCLA in the 1940's which eventually led to
her operating her own pottery.  At 92, Barbara deserves
to slow down a little!  She has taken part in every Los
Angeles Pottery Show and our recent show may be her
last as she is relocating away from Southern California
to be near her family.   Though she has not ruled out
another appearance at the Los Angeles Pottery Show,
we're hoping that she'll find the time next year to visit
the show and perhaps bring a few of the very scarce
pieces she has left.  For more information you may
contact Barbara's daughter Liz Graham at
