Perfect pottery
is the goal of
ceramic artist
One of Ann Arbor's most popular bands, The Urbations, plays at the
Rick's/Pizza Bob's stage on Church Street during the art fair.
By Jill Beiswenger
ANN WOOD'S goal is to make a per-
fect cup. She was at one time a
math and chemistry student, but also
studied art and experimented with a
variety of mediums, including painting
and wood working. Two years ago she
took a good look at the dissatisfaction
she felt from not having the time or
energy to reach perfection in either one
of these mediums. She wanted a balan-
ce in her life. And most of all she wan-
ted a peaceful flow from one moment to
the next.
At that time Wood was making raku,
claywork which attains color
modulations 'in the glaze from quick
firing at high heat, then plunging the
still hot piece into sawdust or dry leaves
and then water. She decided to go to
Japan in order to benefit from the
teachings of a master. %
After hitch hiking all over Japan, she
spent eight months in a small mountain
village under the tutelage of Yoshiko
Uichi. Here she learned that the secret
of performing at her optimum level is
elimination of distractions. She
rediscovered the intense pleasure of
finding her natural rhythm, while
focusing on the doing of one thing as
beautifully and as thoughtfully as
possible.

The pottery Wood's is showing at the
Art Gair is simple and elegant. The
smooth glaze is an opalescent silvery
black which reflects any colors around
it in subdued glimmers.
Wood's art is based on method and
approach. What she strives for is work
as a kind of meditation. ''I am probably
a boring person," she says, "but I'm
not afraid of change anymore."
