Teapot, Marguerite Wildenhain, 1930, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture

Cream colored teapot with flat lid Marguerite Wildenhain trained in ceramics at the Bauhaus in Weimar, a center for modernist design education founded by architect Walter Gropius. The Bauhaus championed a rational approach to design, an aesthetic clearly visible in a handful of industrial prototypes - including this teapot - created for the Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin. The teapot's solid white glaze and clean surface resulted in a design both elegant and modern. Form and function are superbly resolved in three essential areas: an angled spout pours easily without dripping; the countersunk lid does not fall out when tilted; and the large handle facilitates easy pouring. Simplicity of form and timeless design well-adapted to industrial manufacture are the hallmarks of this teapot, one of the finest designs to emanate from the Bauhaus. In 1940, under increased pressure from the Nazis, Wildenhain fled Germany and relocated to the Guerneville, California communal retreat, Pond Farm. Her Pond Farm works employed the same principles she developed in Europe and were sold in department stores such as Gump's in San Francisco. Size: 5 x 11 x 7 in. (12.7 x 27.94 x 17.78 cm) Medium: Hard-paste porcelain

Pond Farm. Hand built kick wheels. There’s a redbud blooming outside; the inside like an Italian chapel. #pondfarmpottery #margueritewildenhain #kickwheels #pondfarm #guerneville #bauhaus #sonomacountyartist #pottery #ceramics #keramik #armstrongwoods #redwoodtrees (at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9im8zMAjky/?igshid=115gagym7aibd

“Ultimately, the beauty of tea is the beauty of sabi. It might also be called the beauty of poverty. The tea masters familiar with this beauty were called “sukisha-ki” meaning “lacking.” The sukisha were masters of enjoying what was lacking.” -The Beauty of Everyday Things by Soetsu Yanagi. #pottery #ceramics #tea #mugshotmonday #pondfarm #margueritewildenhain #guerneville #armstrongwoods #mugs #vincemontague #bobcatstudioceramics #writing https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LUXXhjT3u/?igshid=uki4gcyn1gca

Come write with me at Margeurite Wildenhain's Pond Farm Pottery in Austin Creek State Recreation Area on March 21st. There's a docent tour of the studios in the morning, followed by the workshop in the afternoon. Come visit for either or both. It's a rare opportunity to walk through this important part of ceramic history and experience this utopian vision of clay here in Sonoma county. Tickets are available for both events on the website. Check the link in my bio. Thanks to the Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods for presenting this workshop on the grounds of Pond Farm Pottery. . . #pondfarmpottery #bauhaus #margueritewildenhain #masterpotter #artistcolony #california #californiahistory #guerneville #sonomacounty #russianriver #vincemontague #poetry #pots #prose (at Austin Creek State Recreation Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8zsz5PAP6x/?igshid=jg3cfxq9b0k4

Great opportunity for BIPOC artists to create work on the site of the former Pond Farm Pottery in Guerneville, CA. The Julia Terr Fund is supporting one month self-directed residencies for writers, artists, musicians, choreographers, composers, video, performance, multi-disciplinary, installation artists looking to spend a month above beautiful Armstrong Woods with a small stipend to help defer expenses. The deadline is April 15th for applications. Please help me share this opportunity to reach artists who might be interested. There are no facilities for ceramics, but all artists and writers are invited to apply. Link to the application in my profile. # #juliaterrfundforceramicarts #bipocartists #artistresidency #pondfarmpottery #margueritewildenhain #juliaterr (at Pond Farm Pottery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMV9SZxjmYq/?igshid=bt61uqqmwplg

Vase. 11”h. Stoneware. Slips. New work in my shop. This month I’m participating in the online holiday exhibition at @theacga. A percentage of my sales will be donated to the fire recovery fund at Austin Creek State Recreation Area in Guerneville which was devastated by the #wallbridgefire this summer. #austincreekstaterecreationarea is also home to Marguerite Wildenhains Pond Farm Pottery which luckily evaded the fires. Support local clay and glass artists. Support our state parks.

Walking towards where #pondfarmpottery once thrived, and thinking about #clayutopias -- those experiments in art and creativity where community is formed and art has a dedicated space to be made. #pottery #ceramics #margueritewildenhain #pondfarmpottery #sonomacounty #sonomacountyart #walking (at Armstrong Woods - Redwood Forest)
