Warren MacKenzie

Ceramic Bowls 

Minnesota-based Warren MacKenzie is a living legend. Not only has he been a very active potter for nearly 60 years, his perspective and teaching has touched and inspired many generations of contemporary potters. MacKenzie's early career was influenced by time spent working in England for British potter Bernard Leach. There he developed a high regard for folk pottery traditions, particularly those of Japan and Korea. Influenced by the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement, MacKenzie then began to create simple utilitarian pots. As decades passed, MacKenzie's dedication has been unwavering. He makes pots with integrity; understated and comforting. He tries to keep his prices within reach with the belief that having access too, and making use of handmade objects truly does add something to one's life. Mackenzie is still making work steadily in his Stillwater, MN studio, and is Professor Emeritus at the University of Minnesota.
