The MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA DESIGN is the first institution dedicated exclusively to documenting California's role as a major American design center. Until the museum has a permanent exhibition site, MOCAD curators will mount exhibitions of commercially produced California- designed and California-made objects -- in clay, wood, glass, fiber, paper, metal, plastic and other materials -- which will travel to museums and other venues across the country. This will allow MOCAD to fulfill its goal of demonstrating how California design has reflected -- and often led -- our country's cultural and economic development. Bill Stern -- Executive Director

More information about Jane Bennison and Vernon Kilns will be found in California Pottery: From Missions to Modernism by Bill Stern, photographs by Peter Brenner published by Chronicle Books.
