Robert Winokur is an innovative sculptor whose medium is clay. For over 50 years he has been producing imaginative, thought provoking, and technically superb pieces of ceramic art.

Paula Winokur's dramatic work is made out of porcelain and is informed by her concern for the melting glaciers and icebergs caused by global warming.
Nathan Lynch, associate professor and chair of the ceramics and glass programs at California College of the Arts, gives a talk focusing on Ron Nagle's work ethic, attention to detail, and unflinching pursuit of his best sculpture, as well as his humor and sense of style.

Conversation: Ron Nagle and Don Ed Hardy
In conjunction with the exhibition Ron Nagle: Handsome Drifter, Nagle is joined in conversation by his longtime friend the internationally celebrated tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy. The two artists will discuss mutual tastes and interests including the visual culture of Japan, the concept of wabi-sabi and the value of the imperfect, and the marginalization of certain art forms in mainstream culture.
Don Ed Hardy’s work, which comprises an internationally popular fashion line as well as tattoo designs, graphic art, and painting, was the subject of a major retrospective at the de Young Museum last year. Exhibited internationally, his work is held in leading museum collections including the Honolulu Academy of Art and the Achenbach Collection at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Hardy has written more than thirty books on alternative art and curated numerous exhibitions.

Music: 夜光(night light) by Genta Kimura
Peter Voulkos is the undisputed creative force behind the American Clay Revolution that began in the 1950s and continues today. His energy and charisma are legendary. Peter Voulkos Working offers a window into three distinct chapters of his prodigious career. It features newly re-mastered films available digitally for the first tim
WORKING IN CLAY (26 min, 1992, filmed by Ann Voulkos)
Working in Clay intimately observes the artist in his Oakland studio as he creates plates, tea bowls and a large stack. What's captured is an intuitive process. The surface of a plate comes alive with a range of gestures from delicate lines to violent slashes. The quiet handling of a Japanese tea bowl is suddenly interrupted, revealing beauty in the accidental. While creating a large stack (Kings Chamber) Voulkos composes as he works, improvising like a jazz musician who has deep trust in both his instincts and his technical control. In these filmed moments, we see him alive in his work, powerfully present.
A potter's world – Bernard Leach. Has an interest in Far Eastern art and pottery. Japanese art.
Bernard Leach is, without a doubt, the best known and most prominent of British studio potters.
Born in Hong Kong, he was taken almost immediately to Japan by his grandparents.
He came to England at the age of ten for schooling.
In 1909 he returned to Japan to teach etching which he had himself learnt from Frank Brangwyn.
After ten years of life in the East – both Japan and China – he met Hamada.
The following year they both came to England and set up the Leach Pottery at St Ives.
The years between the wars were hard for Leach; he spent much time re-building kilns, experimenting with materials, travelling – but not achieving much critical or financial success.
It was not until after the Second World War, and the publication of his first book, A Potters' Book, that he became widely recognised as a master in his field.
He continued to pot until 1972, but did not stop his ceaseless travelling.
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London held an exhibition – The Art of Bernard Leach – in 1977, and in 1979 he died.
