Warren MacKenzie

Ceramic, Glass and Metal Artists

Warren MacKenzie (1924 to 2018) was an American craft potter often called the master or father of American ceramic art in the mingei tradition. A committed believer in utilitarian pottery, he priced his work accessibly in his own self-service showroom, despite being able to command higher prices in galleries, so that people would feel free to use his pieces in daily life.
