Our mission includes educational programming that brings awareness to the historic places and cultural history within our community.  

 

At Claremont Heritage one of the ways we do this is by recognizing the individuals and organizations that have made a significant impact in our community through our annual awards.

 

The Bess Garner Historic Preservation Award and the
Cultural Heritage Award will be presented at our annual Gala

The recipient of The Bess Garner Historic Preservation Award for 2014 is Scripps College for the outstanding preservation and stewardship of its historic campus which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

2014 FILM SERIES

AN EVENING WITH PAUL SOLDNER AND HARRISON McINTOSH

THURSDAY, APRIL 10th 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Mudd Theater - Claremont School of Theology
1325 N College Ave. (north side of Foothill Blvd)

  


Paul Soldner                                    Harrison McIntosh


One of the most respected functional potters in the United States,
Harrison McIntosh is recognized for his simple classical thrown forms in stoneware. He embellishes his pieces with geometric designs painted in bold or muted colors. Understated glazes reinforce the timeless substance of his art.  Strong early influences on McIntosh's work were Bauhaus design, Swedish ceramics of the 1950s, and nature.  A film about his work, his life and his love of clay.

 

Playing with Fire explores the life and art of Paul Soldner, the revolutionary ceramic artist who helped turn a three thousand year old craft into an accepted form of Fine Art. As a child, Paul never thought he was an artist or would ever become one. But after living through the harsh realities of World War 2, Paul, like many Abstract Expressionist artists, realized the fleetingness of life and decided to pursue a life following his passions. At age 32, he made a career change and moved to LA to become a ceramist. As they say in the books...the rest is history.  

 

Admission: $10 Heritage Members, Students and Seniors $5
