| Mitch Lyon June 2012 |
I just got news that Mitch Lyons died earlier this month.
About seven years ago while I was working in ceramics, I found Mitch's DVD's on ceramics in the college library. I loved what he was doing with ceramics especially the clayprinting. As I watched the magic appear on the clayprinting plate it was so exciting that I thought I would hyperventilate.
In 2012 I was able to take one of his workshops in Taos, NM. It changed the course of my work. My present studio is set up for clayprinting and I can easily lose myself for hours being surprised by what appears on my printing plates.
Thank you Mitch for sharing your clayprinting process with so many artists.

It's fascinating how your lives crossed and made such a difference for you. Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace
ReplyDeleteI, too, had my creative horizons expanded through workshops with Mitch. We are all a little poorer now.
