He also let me attend his summer workshop. I still have my two drums. I was introduced to Frank via another student who had been working for him. I imagine there have been many kids that Frank worked with over the years. To me he was a very kind, warm and welcoming person. He made me look at working with clay in such a different perspective. After graduating, I ended up going a different direction then the art world. However having the privilege to work for him is still an experience that is one of my favorite.i would look him up from time to time, but never reach out to thank him. The world has lost a special spirit.Aminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764031298725301479.post-9757009411456343102023-11-28T23:39:54.805-05:002023-11-28T23:39:54.805-05:00Hi great readiing your blogHi great readiing your blogEric Pietrangolare Photographyhttps://ericpietrangolarephotography.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764031298725301479.post-46932788201872776052023-08-23T05:24:57.832-04:002023-08-23T05:24:57.832-04:00Great read thaanksGreat read thaanksTrenca Pinshttps://trenca-pins.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764031298725301479.post-45021805459787025962023-08-11T12:59:20.778-04:002023-08-11T12:59:20.778-04:00JennieJennieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764031298725301479.post-1977555059934227992023-07-25T16:10:01.964-04:002023-07-25T16:10:01.964-04:00Davide, your moment has arrived, not the 15 minute...Davide, your moment has arrived, not the 15 minutes as promised, but on Italian TV no less!!!

I was fortunate to be with Frank and Ana at the Udu workshops and be with all of their congenial, fun-loving friends. What a together group of people who would gather to be with Frank and Ana to spend time together. It conjures wonderful memories that I cherish.<br />Frank was an inspiration to any artist. He enjoyed the world around him and created glorious art to celebrate life and all of its natural beauty. He was a dear friend that I will surely miss.

I knew him in high school, me a naive sophomore with a mad crush on the cute senior. I’m not sure he ever knew who I was (that was probably for the best). I never heard about him again, until now., when I came across someone with the same last name, which prompted a Google search. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764031298725301479.post-43202055981232871302023-03-26T10:38:39.437-04:002023-03-26T10:38:39.437-04:00Thank you for the beautiful stories.

I spent a very special week at his workshop several years ago, traveling from the west coast, and as I read this wonderful commentary on his life I sit with 2 udus that I made there. I remember, being a camper on his property, playing many of his udus that he had at his studio in the evenings when I needed a break from rolling coils. Yes, the bonfire, the special teacher from Africa, Frank, his family, the magic of the space and time. My wife and I drove around the country this past fall, and as we passed through upstate New York in late September my wife suggested I look up Frank…<br /><br />As I get older, the lessons get harder, but become more clear…<br />Seize the day <br /><br />Dennis<br />California<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764031298725301479.post-42920363743897273092022-12-11T12:38:00.202-05:002022-12-11T12:38:00.202-05:00Beautiful remembrance of Frank (known to us as &qu...Beautiful remembrance of Frank (known to us as "G"), who I have known for 62 years. As a teen, Frank's house was the place for the parties. So was the Mary Jo, his father's boat was another place that we'd party, out in the Great South Bay. I knew him when he left for Villanova, only to leave that quickly for Pratt in Brooklyn. I remember the apartment on Washington Avenue, and the big acrylic paintings. There's so much more, including the wonderful get togethers in Freehold in the last decades. A nicer man never existed We made the obligatory cross-country trip in 1970 with a few friends, and those memories never get old. And, of course, the music of the udu drums, another wonderful chapter in Frank's life. Sail on , G. You are missed.
