OTTO HEINO (1915 - 2009 ) AND VIVIKA HEINO (1910-1995)November 4th, 2009
The partnership of Otto and Vivika, both in art and marriage, spanned nearly 50 years. Over those years they supported themselves working as teachers and potters, sharing generously of their knowledge and skill. They represent what is best in craftsmen: excellence in workmanship along with dedication and consistency. Otto is noted for his throwing style and meticulously crafted pots, while Vivika‟s work is more delicate. Both are renowned for their glaze work, most recently the stunning high-temperature yellow glaze they were working to develop at the time of Vivika‟s death and which Otto completed. Otto Heino continued to live and work on their property in Ojai, CA, remaining active in the ceramic community, until his death in 2009. The legacy that will be left by the Heinos is twofold: the large body of their work which played an important role in the development of U.S. ceramic art and the hundreds of students they taught who have gone on to play their own part in American ceramics.
