Collector Scott Hamblen presents a retrospective and brief primer on an unintentional accumulation of Mid-Century Hostess Carafes. This presentation is part of the IMoDD Unforgettable Dinnerware lecture series.

This event is in partnership with the International Museum of Dinnerware Design.

In this talk, ceramic artist David MacDonald will talk about how he got started in ceramics (pottery specifically) and what inspires him to continue to make vessels. The principle concern of his art is the articulation of the magnificence of the human spirit and a celebration of his African heritage.

David MacDonald has a BS from Hampton University and an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is a Professor Emeritus at Syracuse University where he taught for 37 years.
