Ceramist: Arnold Schwarzbart

Arnold Schwarzbart of Knoxville, Tennessee, creates Judaica (of or characteristic of Jews or Judaism) items and makes a menorah for Hanukkah. He shapes the clay, textures it and uses the potter's wheel to make the small oil lamps.

He talks about how the story of each piece is as important as the design. The pieces he is creating in this segment are called Maccabean Stella menorahs.
