Richard Bresnahan: The Taste of the Clay
After spending nearly 4 years in Japan as an apprentice for the Nakazato Family, Richard Bresnahan returned to St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota with a wealth of pottery knowledge and skills. With the blessing of Father Michael Blecker and the Benedictine Monks at St. John’s, he set up a completely indigenous pottery studio, building the largest wood firing kiln of its kind in North America and utilizing a nearby clay deposit.
In September 2013, Richard and his team fired the Sister Johanna Becker kiln, named after his art history teacher and mentor, for the twelfth time. Preparations included seven weeks of loading, ten days of firing, a week of cooling, a week of unloading and nine months of cleaning. Richard’s wife Collette organizes the chefs and the dinners that serve up to 300 people. The firing is a community-building event with many volunteers returning year after year.
In the documentary, Richard talks about his pottery and the related philosophies that guide his life and his teaching.
“When you’re becoming an artist, especially working in a clay material, you’re having what we call tsuchi-aji; “tsuchi” means clay, “aji” means taste. You’re learning the taste of the clay. And so that’s a metaphor for your taking in your exterior environment into your interior environment. You’re developing a spirituality to your material.”

Champions of Change: Catholic Education
The White House honors Catholic education leaders as Champions of Change. January 25, 2012.
WRITING THE BIBLE: FROM 7TH CENTURY NORTHUMBERLAND TO 21ST CENTURY MINNESOTA
The Saint John's Bible represents an extraordinary achievement, a handwritten manuscript of the Bible produced in 21st-century Wales and Minnesota. But the tradition of writing the Bible by hand reaches back two thousand years, to the earliest fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It grows out of the western monastic tradition established by Benedictine monks in Northumberland and Ireland after the retreat of the Romans and exported to the European continent in the early Middle Ages. Medieval manuscript scholar Lisa Fagin Davis will trace this development from the earliest Latin versions to the contemporary Saint John's Bible.
LISA FAGIN DAVIS received her PhD in Medieval Studies from Yale University in 1993. She has catalogued medieval and Renaissance manuscript collections throughout the United States and has published five books and numerous articles in the field. In 2016, she co-curated the major exhibition Beyond Words: Illuminated Manuscripts in Boston Collections at the Houghton Library at Harvard University, the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. In addition to serving as Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America, Davis regularly teaches an introduction to manuscript studies at the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science.
