Regis Master Series 

REGIS MASTERS SERIES

The Regis Masters Series honors senior artists who have had a major impact on the development of 20th century - now 21st century - ceramics. The selected artists from this country and abroad, receive an honorarium, participate in an exhibition at NCC, and deliver a lecture about their life and times. In doing so, they add to the limited stock of oral history of a senior generation of ceramic artists.

In 2004, NCC published Clay Talks, stories from the edited transcripts of the first 13 lectures and reunions, with color and black & white illustrations.

The Regis Masters Series is made possible by a generous grant from Regis and Friends. The lectures are co-sponsored by The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
