About this issue

O N T H E C O V E R It was in this corner of her studio in rural White Salmon, Wash., that Julie (Semler ’79) Ueland created her famous “Fish” pottery pattern. In the cover photo, Ueland adds the finishing touches to a brand new pastel-colored pattern called “Water Lily” that was inspired by Monet’s works. Each piece of Ueland pottery is done completely by hand - painted, etched, fired, glazed, and fired again. PHOTO BY CHRIS TUMBUSCH.
