Longing for clay
by Nazy Kaviani13-Dec-2007
Quite by accident, I came to know an accomplished Iranian artist in our community in Berkeley. His name is Farrokh Shehabi, and he is a ceramics artist. Though he is an engineer by education and profession and managed his construction business for many years, for the past ten years he has found his lost love and passion, pottery. He says about that passion: “It was as though all my life I had been longing for the way clay feels in my hands, as it finds shape and purpose, each piece telling its own story.”
Visit Shehabi’s Website and read more about him. If you live in this area, you can visit this interesting man in his studio by appointment year-round. Don’t miss the last chance to visit Berkeley Artisans Holiday Open Studios this weekend, December 15th and 16th ( Sawtooth Building, 2547 8th Street at Dwight, Bay 2, Studio #23, Berkeley, CA 94710, Tel: 510 841-0843). Among tens of other artists in the historic Sawtooth Building, featuring their hand-made arts and crafts, Farrokh’s studio will also be open between 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on both days>>>FULL TEXT

Why don't u write about all
by u (not verified) on Sun Dec 16, 2007 02:18 PM PSTWhy don't u write about all the great artists living in Iran who work under such pressure and don't get their names out, instead of writing about artists who have everything available to them. There are great ceramic artists like Bita Fayyazi won many awards inside and out of Iran - see her website www.bitaworks.com

by Midwesty on Thu Dec 13, 2007 08:57 PM PSTJust a quick reminder, Ceramic is an original Iranian invention. Iranians thousands of years ago were aware of its properties including its heat-shielding property. Loved the photos and the Iranian set-up. Nice fresh figs!
