For those of you in my Advanced Throwing Class at the U of M, if you do not know Betty Woodman and her work, look her up! I did not see this today so I am terribly grateful to Sally Michener for letting me know.
Betty Woodman really pushed ceramics into importance. She was a clay sculptor who combined many styles, most with a feminist slant. She has worked for the past six decades and her influence and inspiration resonates through generations of artists. She will be missed.

I am a writer and occasional maker working with clay. I received my PhD from the University of Leicester in art history as a Commonwealth Scholar from Canada to the UK. Since then I have taught art history and ceramics until August 2020 when I returned to full-time writing. The giant umbrella under which I work is contemporary ceramics with an emphasis on wood firing, women who wood fire, the contributions of Vietnam Resisters on Canadian ceramics, and ceramics and sustainability.
