Ken Matsuzaki: Looking for Shapes The Clay Deserves




In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson1

Two years ago I was sent a list of participants for an upcoming workshop, and was surprised to see the name of a friend, Mitch Lyons. “How wonderful,” I thought. “We’ll be team-teaching,” then realized he and Meredith Wakefield signed on as class members. When we greeted one another the first day, he said shyly, “Yea, Jack, we just wanted to be in your class.” I was humbled and grateful to share daily studio time with them and we all benefited from his occasional demos.
