Toshiko giving Beatrice (Beato) Wood a throwing lesson at Beato's studio in the early 80's.
Just got word that Toshiko Takaezu, an icon in the Ceramic world has passed. She was a lovely, warm, gracious lady and a superb artist and teacher. She will be greatly missed.
I'd like to think that she may have had a peek at the manuscript before the printing. It's very possible that the author had been in contact with her as part of the research for the book.
It would have been nice if she had lived to see the wonderful book coming out about her.
