sfclayworks Celebrity Connection

I was searching around YouTube as I sometimes do and came across a couple of films, one of which I found extra interesting. As I watched the film “Potters of the USA”-Part Two my interest was piqued when I heard the name of the second artist Paul Bogatay. Bogatay, I said to myself, is the same last name as sfclayworks own Lucia Bogatay.  I always knew in the back of my mind that Lucia’s father was a ceramic artist, but I never had the opportunity to see him in action nor had I seen much of his work. Much to my surprise when I checked with Lucia, she said she had never seen this particular film. It was fun to hear that the elephant in the film is still owned by a member of the Bogatay family. Lucia also let me know that her father was good friends with Toshiko Takaezu and Frans Wildenheim. I suppose this is sfclayworks first brush with fame.

Check out these films! I embedded both Part One and Two, Since Part Two is the film that features Lucia’s father, I have placed that video first.  These films are part of the Peeler art film series. Take a look.....   Part Two includes Warren Mackenzie, Paul Bogatay (Lucias father), Toshiko Takaezu, and Frans Wildenheim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVsWbI5FUUA&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fsfclayworks.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE
