Ceramic Horn

Ceramic Horn 

Clay 

1969.2.1 

Visual Description: Circular horn with some parts glazed and blue and orange checkered coloring. Inconsistent width of horn with a bell and mouthpiece. 

 In addition to our many two-dimensional works, we also have a handful of three-dimensional ones, like this delightful horn. It seems that the creator of this piece, Don, created multiple variations on the horn theme during the course of his career (scroll to the last image to see an especially inventive creation!)  

Donald (Don) Bendel (1935-2019) received his Master of Fine Art in Ceramics at UWM in 1967. He went on to a fruitful career in ceramics and higher education, becoming a ceramics professor at Northern Arizona University in 1970 (1970-2001).
