Object Details
- Artist
- William Wilhelmi, born Garwin, IA 1939
- Luce Center Label
- Bill Wilhelmi has described himself as a “wheel oriented” potter, and enlivens his pieces with southwestern landscapes and images. This stoneware tea set was created for the Renwick Gallery’s 1976 show, Craft Multiples, and is decorated with a technique known as wax resist, where designs are created by brushing wax over an area of clay so that it will resist the final glazing process. Wilhelmi unites the pieces of the set by using the loop handle from the teapot on the teacups as well.
