What's Hot

摘要

Bacia Stepner Edelman, an extraordinary potter-sculptor, mother, grandmother, and loyal supporter of Clay Times since its inception, died on Sept. 19 at the Hospice Care facility in Madison, Wisconsin. She was 84. Bacia's greatest joy was her clay-work, lovingly displayed by Russell Fouts on the Web at http://users. skeynet.be/russel.fouts/bacia.htm. Bacia frequently "played with clay" before she was in kindergarten, encouraged by her aunt Sybil Righter, who worked at the Paul Revere pottery in Boston. On Saturday nights all the single female employees (the Saturday Evening Girls) were invited to bring along their nieces and nephews. Bacia, the youngest attendee, fell in love with pottery, a passion that stayed with her until her very last days, when her dear friend Andree Valley helped her finish her final piece, a collaborative work by them both.
