Incredible day spent inside the Scripps College ceramic archive. Boxes and cabinets full of ceramic history. #petervoulkos #paulsoldner #johnmason #rudyautio #pattywarashina #kenprice #ronnagle and so many more. Thank you Kirk for allowing me to roam freely and touch this work. Never had an experience quite like this. #ceramics #scrippscollege #art (at Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery)
