Frank Willett passed away at age 91 on October 15, 2020 at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Here is some more information about Frank. Awarded the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2013, Frank Willett’s work in high fired porcelain and stoneware is widely known and respected in the ceramic art community in New Mexico. A master of his craft, his work has been widely shown and collected both in New Mexico and nationally. In addition to the Governor’s Award, he was honored by the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2002, was featured in the December 2005 issue of Ceramics Monthly, and was included in the Ceramic Arts Yearbooks 2015. His work has been shown in numerous invitational and juried shows, including an invitational show in the New Mexico Governor’s Gallery, an invitational show of New Mexico potters at Santa Fe Clay, and, most recently, an exhibit of ceramics, “Critical Chaos”, in conjunction with an NCECA conference, “Critical Santa Fe, a Symposium” in the Gallery at Santa Fe Community College. He has taught wheel throwing classes at Santa Fe Community College and Santa Fe Clay, and has given workshops at several colleges and ceramic educational institutions in the region. In conjunction with the International Folk Art Market, he participated recently in a cultural exchange with Korean National Treasure, Mr. Han, and with a group of potters from Kazakhstan where he and they demonstrated their wheel work in front of a large group of students, potters and faculty at Santa Fe Community College.He holds an MA in Fine Art from CSU Los Angeles and taught high school art in California before moving to Santa Fe in 1971, where he established Santa Fe Pottery on historic Guadalupe Street. Throughout the years he has produced pottery continuously, all with an unerring sense of beautiful form, good design and superb craftsmanship. For more than thirty five years he and his wife, Luisa Baldinger, have collaborated in a number of ceramic adventures. Together they produced Sunridge Pottery, a line of functional wheel-thrown and slab-made pottery for both the wholesale and retail markets, designed and produced “Santa Fe Lights”, ceramic architectural lighting fixtures, and continued to sell their work in their shop Santa Fe Pottery. In 2003 they sold the shop. In his “retirement” Frank continues to spend several hours in the studio each day making his more one-of-a-kind pieces on the wheel and collaborating with Luisa on the glazing and firing in both the gas and soda kilns at their studio.
