SIDNEY GORDIN (1918-1996)
Sidney Gordin learned welding and mechanical drafting at Brooklyn Technical High School before he was accepted at the prestigious Cooper Union School. Part of the famous “Club” of Abstract Expressionist painters, Gordin began sculpting in 1949. While maintaining an active exhibtion schedule with the nation’s most prestigious museums and one of New York’s best galleries, Gordin found time to teach at the New School for Social Research.

JAMES HAGGERTY
James Haggerty took an early glaze class with noted California ceramist Vivika Heino that sparked sufficient interest for him to pursue further studies at the California School of Fine Arts, Otis Art Institute, and Cal State Long Beach. Continuing and updating a tradition passed from Gertrude and Otto Natzler and Beatrice Wood, Haggerty has proven himself one of our most promising glaze chemists. James lives and works in Santa Barbara. The gallery regularly presents his work.

Joan Rosenberg-Dent studied at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor before going on to get her MFA at the Cranbrook Academy, where she studied under Jun Kaneko.
