A little more insight into LSPS's featured artist Frank Lantz. The artist states:

"Currently, I work among a number of artists at the Lincoln Square Pottery Learning Center in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago run by Meg Biddle. I do a lot of work using porcelain, but also stoneware and red clays, underglazes, some glazes and, recently, slips where shape, texture, volume, surface and, mostly, effect are important.
A few of the artists whose work I strongly connect with, emotionally and intellectually, are Maya Lin, Ellsworth Kelly, Richard Diebenkorn, Richard Serra, Mary Cassatt, Michelangelo Caravaggio, Antony Gormley, Camille Claudel, Andy Goldsworthy, Robert Motherwell, Francisco Goya, Margaret Bourke-White . . .

(I read a lot; I have degrees in sociology, psychology and a MBA degree. My professional life has been spent in engineering industries from mechatronics to nanoscale technologies to university research instrumentation however my interests have been with history, economics, society, biology, music, geology, culture . . . I am very fond of poetry and fiction (Bishop, Oliver, Carver, Collins, Bukowski, Dove, Hughes, Coetzee, O’Connor, Allende, sometimes Faulkner, Ford, . . . ) and I have read about, thought about and studied arts, since i was young (mostly on my own; mostly music and visual arts).)"
