Don Reitz’s involvement with the Morean Center for Clay began in 1995. His dynamic presence and enthusiasm shaped our program from the very beginning. It was his influence, among others, that created the emphasis on woodfiring in our curriculum. His boundless energy, creativity, and talent for self-expression touched everyone he worked with. He left an indelible mark on the clay community and on the Morean Center for Clay. His life was a inspiration to do as he always said, “Follow your bliss.”
