About Kirk Mangus

Kirk Mangus (1952-2013) was an internationally recognized ceramicist, and a dedicated teacher and mentor for almost 30 years at Kent State University. Mangus is known for his playful, gestural style, and experimental glazing. In his approach to craftsmanship, Mangus sought to re-negotiate concepts of beauty and mastery, proposing an unguarded, impassioned way of thinking, making, living, and loving (2).

That is how small tiny dreams come true – in a way you could not expect it: I always was looking for this plant with beautiful special pink blooming stem, but my mind always reminded me that I have enough indoor plants and there will be no place for new ones.

And here it came, through your hands, my friend, and I am happy:)

How was my surprise to see the purple flower after few days! All the time before, I thought this kind of indoor flowers has only that pink stem in bloom, that’s all.

But it appeared, that the infinite bloom exists, infinite bloom of friendship, the purple flower on the flower!

Miracle, isn’t it?:)
