          American ceramic artist (1927–2019)

          John Mason (March 30, 1927 – January 20, 2019) was an American artist who did experimental work with ceramics.[1] Mason's work focused on exploring the physical properties of clay and its "extreme plasticity".[2] One of a group of artists who had studied under the pioneering ceramicist Peter Voulkos, he created wall reliefs and expressionistic sculptures, often on a monumental scale.[1][3]

          Biography

          Mason spent his early childhood in the Midwest; his family moved to Fallon, Nevada in 1937, where he finished elementary and high school.[4] He settled in Los Angeles in 1949 at the age of 22.[5] He attended Otis Art Institute, and in 1954 enrolled at Chouinard Art Institute, where he became a student and close friend of ceramicist Peter Voulkos.

          The two rented a studio space together in 1957, which they shared until Voulkos moved to Berkeley, Calif
