Dick Lehman Biography

Dick Lehman is one of the most popular and richest Ceramic Artist who was born on November 20, 1952 in Indiana, United States.

More than 20 books published since the early 1990s have covered Lehman’s pottery work and impact, such as 21st Century Ceramics in the United States and Canada published by the American Ceramic Society and The Art of Contemporary American Pottery by Kevin Hluch.

Lehman has written extensively about his visits to Japan, where he began in 1992 to learn from master potters knowledgeable in ancient firing techniques; in turn, Lehman was invited to exhibit his work there. Japan’s Shiho Kanzaki, in particular, has been a major influence. At Kanzaki’s invitation, Lehman’s work was featured in two-person exhibitions in Japanese cities known for their clay and traditional porcelain, Shigaraki, Shiga, and Tamba in 1999. Kanzaki fires his anagama kiln for 10 days; his pots are placed into the kiln unglazed and come out with a natural ceramic glaze from the flying ashes. “The prolonged firing allows for a slow build-up of ash and melted surfaces into undesigned patterns known as keshiki (landscapes).”

Lehman’s career began with what he has called “production pottery” – that is, reliably reproducible hand-thrown pieces that would be attractive to paying customers: “To run a studio business with living wages for up to five people for 30 years is a great accomplishment. I am proud of that.” After he began to be able to pay the bills and salaries, Lehman set aside time for himself and his staff members to experiment and play with ceramics in an artistic and adventurous manner. He introduced laser engraving on clay and pioneered low- tech thermal-shock-testing. Les Richter in American Shinto – The Glaze of a Thousand Faces writes:

Lehman was motivated to experiment with side-firing after visiting the studio of Shoji Takahara in Japan, who encouraged him to become acquainted with Pennsylvania potter Jack Troy. With Troy, Lehman writes, “I had the first of several experiences wood-firing anagama-style kilns. The exuberance of the four-day firings; the altered shapes propelled by the pyroplasticity of the clay; the expressions of kinetic energy exuded by the ash runs, drips and pools – all these new experiences convinced me that pursuit of my dream would inescapably lead to my own anagama-style kiln. This kiln is described under Long-Wood-Firing, but an additional development was the technique of side- fired glazed ware.
