Eva Zeisel (1906- ), is one of America's greatest ceramic & industrial designers. Zeisel creates designs that are wonderously innovative and timeless. While her ceramic designs are ergonomic and functional, they often can be playful and even comedic. Each creation is a masterful work of art that interacts with the world around it. It is as if Zeisel breathes life into her forms. When others spoke of "form and function," Zeisel went beyond that to put the "for whom" back into "form" and the "fun" back into "function." This discussion group is interested in everything related to the life & work of Eva Zeisel. ©Michael Pratt, 2002
