Don Reitz (1929-2014) of Clarkdale, AZ earned his MFA at Alfred University in 1962, where he began experimenting with salt-glazing. This firing technique allowed the clay to keep its natural character, and its malleability did not obscure the creator’s hand. He spent many years as an educator as well as a potter and taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for over 25 years before retiring as a professor emeritus in 1988.
