Although Bracker’s does not sell used equipment, we do act as a bulletin board and try to match up people wanting to sell with people wanting to buy. We have heard of a few things in the Lawrence, KS area:

![As I was sitting down to research and write my spotlight on David F. Mack this weekend, a Facebook notification popped up on my screen that he had posted something. Whoa - perfect timing! So I opened up the post and saw his announcement that his article is in the September issue of Ceramics Monthly! “This article is a voice for the underrepresented, disenfranchised, oppressed, and forgotten. Two families of enslaved and freed Black potters, unknown to one another, but bound together by clay, tradition, culture, and slavery strive to achieve inclusion, discoveries, ownership, recognition, and empowerment.” Those Black potters are Dave the Slave Potter (profiled by David Sturm in mid-June) and newly emancipated potters Hiram Wilson with brothers James, and Wallace, who became the first African Americans to own a business in Texas, named H. Wilson and Company, a pottery that sold salt-glazed ware made from the Capote deposit, about 10-15 miles away from Seguin, Texas. Seguin is the town that Anne W Bracker (Mom) spent her formative years until she married Bill Bracker (Dad). Imagine my surprise when I started seeing references in Mack’s article to the town my sister Cindy and I spent summers growing up! Although Mom pointed out Sebstapol House every time we drove by, she never mentioned the Greek Revival mansion was build by slave labor before the Civil War. I think she just loved how the building looked. It was much later that the Wilson Pottery Foundation would move the exhibits and pottery collection into Sebastapol House. But I think that’s what history is all about - finding a personal connection. Reading his article I know that David F Mack definitely found his own personal connection to these potters that helped to shape the landscape of pottery in mid-19th Century America. Mack is also the first former NFL Defensive End turned ceramic artist I’ve profiled - although the clay bug bit him first. I’ve seen several mentions of his generosity donating work for auction to benefit the NFL Players Assoc. His own work has evolved into one piece thrown cylinders and frequently honors historical figures like Harriet Tubman & Frederick Douglass.

The Bluebird Model 12 Mixer is a scaled down version of the 24S. Not only is the Model 12 excellent for mixing or recycling smaller batches of clay, it is an excellent machine for mixing colored clay bodies or adding special ingredients (such as grog, fiberglass, etc.) to a premixed body.
