Thoughts about Pots by Hot Tomato Press
"’Thoughts About Pots’ is an artists’ book series that features quotes by my late stepfather, Warren MacKenzie. The series is a tribute to Warren, who taught ceramics at the University of Minnesota for thirty-seven years. Some quotes are humorous. Others are solemn. The handmade paper contains Warren’s clay-covered overalls that were salvaged from his pottery after his death. The text includes references regarding Warren’s first wife, Alix MacKenzie, and his mentors, Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada. Like Warren’s pots, no two books are the same." - Erica Spitzer Rasmussen
