Book Signing for MARY TUTHILL LINDHEIM book on January 15, 2011

We are excited to announce this event because Mary Tuthill Lindheim was a longtime Leslie Ceramics customer.


You are warmly invited to a book signing at Leslie Ceramics Supply on Saturday, January 15, 2011, 3-5 pm. We celebrate the publication of MARY TUTHILL LINDHEIM: ART AND INSPIRATION. This beautifully illustrated art book, the first on Lindheim, details her creative output and activism on behalf of ceramics in the Bay Area. Lindheim (1912-2004) entered ceramics in 1946 as a student of Antonio Prieto and was a leading figure for the next 25 years. Abby Wasserman, essayist and the book’s editor, and Richard Whittaker, editor of works and conversations, will share thoughts about why Lindheim’s life and example are still important today. There will be food and wine, and an exhibit of Lindheim artworks will be up through January.

Read more about the book on Abby Wasserman's website here.


And of course we have the books for sale in the store!
