About the Item

Degener worked in a variety of media - painting, drawing, words - but pottery was her great love. She won numerous awards for her ceramics beginning with the Young Americans competition in 1953. Her work was exhibited at the St. Louis Art Museum. Degener taught art for years in the St. Louis school system and founded several art organizations including The Craft Alliance, a gallery and crafts cooperative, started in 1964. She was known in St. Louis for bringing art to poor, inner-city youths, through an organization funded by grants that taught a variety of arts including ceramics, dance, photography, painting and others. She felt that nobody should be denied art due to the economic standing. She felt art could bridge gender, racial, generational and other gaps. She taught pottery classes in her garage on Saturdays that turned neighborhood children on to the art form. Ms. Degener became interior design writer of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1969; in 1980, she became the paper's art critic. She retired in 1990, which left her more time to spend in Cape May and Martha's Vineyard, two of her favorite places.

Clyde Burt Ceramic Vessel or Vase

Clyde Burt Ceramic Vessel or Vase

By Clyde Burt

Located in Dallas, TX

Born in Melrose, Ohio in 1922, Clyde Burt would go on to become a major voice in American studio ceramics. He studied at Fort Wayne Art School and later at the Cape Cod School of Art before landing at the Cranbrook Academy of Art to study under Maija Grotell. While Grotell is responsible for bringing the wheel to Cranbrook, Burt made it central to his practice and his thrown works express the same endless curiosity as his teacher. Upon returning to Ohio, Burt built a home studio on his family’s farmland near the Little Auglaize River and harvested rich clay from the surrounding area. He started every day at 5:30 in the morning and would work until he knew he “had enough”. Constantly experimenting with glazes, colors and surface decoration, Burt painstakingly recorded his successes and failures in a small notebook...
