Young Walter Dexter
I have added a page on Walter Dexter RCA to the website studioceramicscanada.com .
Dexter was an artist who moved from the the influences of Luke Lindoe and Bernard Leach, through the raku inspiration of Americans Hal Riegge and Paul Soldner, to his own signature “Torso” works and their recognizable style. His journey took him from Alberta, to Europe and eventually to British Columbia.
Enjoy his journey.
Walter Dexter 1931-2015
Another great one in the history of Canadian studio ceramics has passed. Award winning Walter Dexter started in Alberta with Luke Lindoe but spent most of his years in British Columbia, especially Vancouver Island. Raku, Stoneware, and his Torso Vases are part of his teaching and artistic legacy. He will be missed.
