Nicely illustrated, this biography of Minnesota wood-firing potter Richard Bresnahan traces his career, form his studies at St. John's University, part of a Benedictine monastery in Collegeville, Minnesota, and an apprenticeship in Japan, through 30+years as artist-in-residence at St. John's. "During his first decade at Saint John's, Bresnahan transformed an abandoned root cellar into a vital pottery." His strong work ethic accorded well with Benedictine beliefs, as did his determination to operate his studio in an environmentally responsible way with sustainable local resources."
