// **Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay** // January 19 – April 7, 2013 (Galleries 2 & 5) > //Bresnahan, a 1976 graduate of Saint John's University who has served as director of Saint John's Pottery Program since 1980, is definitely American: He was born in Casselton, N.D. and attended Saint John's Preparatory School. But he spent his senior year in college and three years after that in Japan as an apprentice with the Nakazato family, who have crafted pottery for 13 generations and are a Japanese "national living treasure family." "[Americans] sometimes say, 'Richard makes Japanese-style pottery,' and then the Japanese who come here say, 'Boy, Richard, you sure make American-style pottery,'" Bresnahan admits. (Source: [])//
