I was showing off with all my Wayne Chapman pots.

Los Angeles Modernism was held this past weekend at 3Labs. I caught it on the last day. Inner Gardens and all their massive Architectural Pottery display was front and center. 
Reform had a booth dedicated to the work of Gerald McCabe
McCabe as far as the eye can see
Even a McCabe bed
McCabe rockers
Harrison McIntosh sculpture
The shiny California corner-- Palo Alto chair by Byron Botker and table by McCabe.
Peter Shire
Erik Gronborg cup getting a fill up. 
I did make it out of the Reform booth but the power went out shortly after, so I was only able to get a couple more photos...
Great table at NOHO Modern. They had some cool art too. 
Dharam Damama--always a cool booth and always cool to hang out with.

The Pasadena Convention Center was happening last weekend. The Los Angeles Pottery show and the California International Antiquarian Book Fair, all in one place. That's right, VIP at the book fair.
This booth was the show stopper...McIntosh, Pond Farm, Prieto, Natzler, Beato, Conover, Lukens...
Stacks of Harrison McIntosh pots.  They were all good ones too. 
This was one of the two tables full of Claude Conover
Glen Lukens
Natzlers on the top and James Lovera on the bottom
There was some nice ephemera with this Lovera- it's a winner. 
There were some great pots at other booths too, like this big Clyde Burt.
I'm not usually a Pillin fan, but this set of mini ones were kinda cool.

The book fair had some great things as well. Although, the amount of design related books was on the light side, the people watching made up for it. Apparently, book prints are the hot item to wear in this circle. I saw dealers wearing a dress, there was a vest and a I saw a couple of ties.  This…

This weekend was the Los Angles Pottery Show
A bulk of the show is this kind of pottery. Besides maybe some Catalina tile I can't tell you what any of this stuff is.
I can tell you this is a mammoth Raul Coronel. This was in my friend Michael Hickman's booth. He is one of the four or so dealers  at the show who specializes in modern studio ceramics.  He also throws a good pot himself. I wish I would have taken a photo of one of his pieces. 
 He also had this really cool Michael Frimkess piece.
A monster Frank Matranga lamp, also at Hickman's booth.
Frank had a booth at the show with his newer work. 
A really good Myrton Purkiss plate
Who knew Harrison McIntosh did glass? A very limited number were done by Mikasa for a fundraiser. I knew about the dishes for Mikasa, but glass? Those lines are classic McIntosh. It's hand-signed.
Marg Loring lamp. I really like that. 
Look what I found... Doyle Lane weed vases. They look good on my dashboard too.
I also picked up this sweet little Vivika…
