Prof. Emeritus Warren MacKenzie, 2007

This video was created a few years back, so the contents and the following statement reflect where Warren was in his career at the time:
'Anyone who has spent time with Warren MacKenzie, reknowned potter and Professor Emeritus of the University of Minnesota, is witness to a gracious and eloquent man.
He has a remarkable perspective on the growth of American functional pottery and a far-reaching impact on its reawakening since the early 1950's.'
This video is from 'The Muse DVD Periodical', a collection of 50 relaxed, spontaneous conversations with writers, musicians, applied artists, dancers, curators and educators about how our lives are enhanced by our personal creative pursuit. High definition video has become standard in the few short years since this was shot. These are lower resolution, with my apologies. Technology moves on!
Thank you for this encounter, Warren!
