Because when's the last time anyone cared? Which is a shame. Potter Dean Schwarz's loving reminiscences of working with Marguerite Wildenhain is more than a history lesson. The legendary potter was in that first class in the Weimar Bauhaus in 1919. And when weaver Pam Hiller talks about repairing oriental carpets, we encounter a wise woman. Weaving as life.
