Donker Studio is pleased to announce the arrival of the new and improved version of Rogier’s teacher’s manual. Having had to curtail his school demonstration schedule somewhat because of a case of silicosis, Rogier spent the last few months re-writing and re-editing his teacher’s manual. Hot off the press the new, updated and expanded version is now available. Written in a concise and specific manner the manual guides the reader through a multitude of possible pitfalls, trials and tribulations. Presented in his well-known imaginative and humorous style, the manuscript is overflowing with direct, useful and to the point information about clays, glazes and kilns. With an encouraging foreword by Rita Jacks, “dynamite” art teacher at Rockville High School, Rockville Indiana, the new version has more basic information, more bits and pieces of knowledge and “tons” of useful advice. Over sixty pages of information and crisp COLOR photo illustrations make for a very useful classroom manual the existence of which has proven to be extremely valuable to aspiring teachers and even some veteran teachers. Here at one’s fingertips is all the stuff one was not taught elsewhere! “Perfect”-bound with a color cover and over 65 color illustrations as well as a useful kiln log the manual is sure to become a staple in every art room.
Thanks to the silicosis a way to supplement our income to make up for the loss of the school demonstrations had to be "invented". Being encouraged by all those who’ve followed our "sordid" life saga, being forever the optimist and forever looking on the bright side of things and given that I like to write and tell stories, the thought occurred to me to just up and write "A Potter's Tale.".... I had started the project BEFORE the flood, but had to shelf it because of the house building adventure. Now that my "cosy little loft" is a reality I picked up where I left off.... So here's the finished product: an anecdotal and pictorial chronicle of my potter’s and demonstrator’s career. Unlike the 1995 autobiography this epistle has over a hundred color photographs and recounts a multitude of anecdotes all of which have combined to make our life one that people seem to be drawn to. In living color, sixty some pages, printed on glossy paper and “Perfect-Bound”, a few people out there in cyberspace just might enjoy it! :-) Support the artist in your life and order your copy today!
