Looking at Sam's links provided a very cool web experience. First of all, The John O'Brien and Diana Wittliff links led me nowhere, so I focused on the Tamba Tokkuri link. When I got to the page, there was a nice 19th century vase referred to as "mingei". Mingei literally means "art of (for)the people", and is also considered as "folk art". I googled "mingei" and found some amazing images and web sites devoted to mingei pottery. This is the kind of learning experience that I want students to have.

Although it is ultimately Sam's choice, when he sets up his "Artist of the Week" page, he can display mingei images and provide a brief description of the process. At the very least, Sam can use mingei as a philosophical and technical starting point for the work he does in the studio. I think that many others in the class can relate to this "idea" as well and it has certainly influenced my own work.
