This video was created a few years back, the video itself and the following statement reflects where Jan and Randy were in their career at the time:
'Randy Johnston and Jan McKeachie Johnston have been producing wood-fired pottery from their Wisconsin workshop for over 30 years, carrying on a strong lineage and influence from Shoji Hamada, Warren MacKenzie and Bernard Leach. Randy teaches at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls and he and Jan have led numerous workshops around the United States. Their work is in many international public and private collections and Randy has work in the Permanent collections of the Minneapolis Art institute, Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Los Angeles County Museum.'
This video is from 'The Muse DVD Periodical', a collection of 50 relaxed, spontaneous conversations with writers, musicians, applied artists, dancers, curators and educators about how our lives are enhanced by our personal creative pursuit. High definition video has become standard in the few short years since this was shot. These are lower resolution, with my apologies. Technology moves on!
Thank you for this encounter, Randy & Jan.
