In September 1999, a Falmouth couple who had been among several bidders for the piece Mathilda incised and called "Four Seasons" since its appearance three years earlier in Cape Cod Life magazine came to Chilmark Pottery and purchased the vase for $1200. They are displaying it in an art deco room in their custom-built home. For photos of Mathilda at her art use this link to Mathilda's art from childhood to college. From that page, click on "Ceramics" to see "Four Seasons" as photographed in Cape Cod Life.

Dan, Ruth and Mathilda Tanner

We're the Tanner family. I'm semi-retired from hi-tech. Ruth administers an office for the US Army Soldier Systems Center. Our daughter Mathilda (my late mother's namesake) is a multi award-winning multimedia artist. After working as Artist In Residence for six summers at Chilmark Pottery on Martha's Vineyard, she worked and studied in NY City in the summers of 2000 and 2001, before returning to UMass/Amherst to complete her senior year. She graduated cum laude in May 2002. She completed the difficult and competitive two years of training and teaching obligation of the NY City Teaching Fellowship, earning her master's degree in May 2006. She now teaches at Harry S Truman High Shool in the Bronx and lives in Brooklyn NY.

Our pets are miniature schnauzers "Ranger" and "Lyla" and a cockatiel, "Lem". We like to visit nature's beauty spots. We enjoy hiking, birdwatching and snorkeling. My hobby is entertaining with my harmonica playing, sing-alongs, humor, stories and Ranger's & Lyla's tricks. Ruth loves gardening and has many needlework hobbies, with quilting her current passion.

Below, there are "Links to Love".

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Dan, Ruth & Mathilda Tanner
