The Arts
Ceramist Schwab focus
of Pauling Center exhibit
By Charlene Jensen

Showing in the Pauling
Center from Nov. 4 - Jan. 4 on
exhibition of watercolor work
and ceramics. Artist Wally
Schwab is the designer
responsible for the ceramic
crafts on display.
Some of the featured
ceramics include cylinder*
shaped pots, various bowls,
butter dishes, containers with
lids and wide, round pots.
Schwab’s art indicates his
flair for adding “something
special” to the work when it
gets to the glazing process.
The words “ceramic”
and “art” are synonymous to
Schwab who was first in
troduced to art at Portland
State University where he
studied education and took
art classes as electives.
After teaching elemen
tary school for five years,
Schwab was again sparked
with interest for art. He pur
sued his interest and went to
graduate school where he
received his masters degree
in fine arts.
Schwab, who has been
an established artist for near
ly 20 years, arrived at
Clackamas Community Col
lege in its early years and
helped form the College’s
ceramic department. Schwab
taught the ceramic classes
until an instructor could be
hired. “I’ve had shows at the
College over the years, and
there’s been demonstrations
and lectures I’ve done,”
Schwab said.
Schwab considers himself
a “ceramic-artist-potter.” “I
make mostly pots and
decorative plates for wall
hangings. These kinds of work
are at the Pauling exhibition.
Most of my work is func
tional,” he said.
Every year, besides the
shows and exhibitions,
Schwab opens up his studio
for a Christmas sale. This year
the sale will be held on Dec. 2
and 3, in Schwab’s studio
home at 9501 SW Westhaven
Drive in Portland. A variety of
his work will be on sale.
Schwab has spent most of
his life in Portland but his
work has taken him all over
the country. He has also had
exhibitions world-wide in
places such as Japan, England
and the Middle-East.
Another place showing
Schwab’s work is “The Coffee
Gallery,” a store run by
Schwab’s wife and son. The
shop is located in Greenway
Town Center just west of
Washington Square, at 12182
SW Scholls Fy Rd. Not only
does the store specialize in cof
fees but also displays and sells
the works of Wally Schwab.
Schwab points out that
for the work of an artist to Eve
on after the maker is gone the
craft must be good. “That’s
what artists strive for--for
their work to be good. To feel
good about your work and the
things you’ve strived for is im
portant,” Schwab said.
Schwab’s other interests
are hiking, camping, and
fishing. He also enjoys thè
mountains. Schwab said, “I
guess I’d like to be successful
enough so that I can begin to
pursue my other interests.”

Students from Clackamas
Community College’s Basic
Design class competed last
month in a contest to design a
new logo for a Salem area elec
tronics company.
Team Electronics, which
is presently in the process of
changing its name to Focus
Electronics, held the contest in
order to find a new logo to use
for their newsprint, let
terheads and indoor and out
door signs.
The competition was
open to all professional and
student artists and the
criterion was that the logo
design must be able to stand
the “test of time,” since the
field of Electronics is con
stantly changing and evolving,
Phillip Sperl, a company
employee said.
The students have not yet
heard any word about how
their designs fared against the

structor Leah Grant feels that
many of them were “worthy
of consideration” and she is
grateful to Team Electronics
for giving the students the
chance to relate their work to
the “real world.”

chosen logo will receive $500
for the art work and a $25 gift
certificate will be awarded to

Combination
lunches and
lectures held
A brown bag lunch/lec-
ture will be held Wednesday at
12:10 p.m. in the Art Center
lecture hall (Rm. AC 101) for
anyone interested in learning
about the Acropolis and the
Parthenon.
Leah Grant, instructor of
art history and basic design,
will first lecture on the Ancient
Greek’s architecture of
Acropolis, how and why it was
built, and the philosophy
behind the artwork, and then
present a slide show of some
of the sculptures and painting
found in the Acropolis.
“The works of art we will
be discussing are the focus of
where we get our sense of
beauty in the Western Civiliza
tion,” Grant said, and “I
want to share with everyone
my love for that culture.”

Today’s lecture will be
just one of many that the Art
Department plans on holding
every month for those who are
interested in getting a
“broader scope of the
Classical Age.”
