Howard-Yana Shapiro
Is there any information to connect or disconnect this person with the Howard-Yana Shapiro identified as a "Potter. Object Maker. Raku Master. Faculty Knoxville College." holding a Fulbright and living for a time in Rome, who published and was written about in the 1970s in the magazine Craft Horizons?

 * When I expanded the article in 2017, I found it difficult to pin down information about Shapiro. It's clear he's had a somewhat unconventional career path. I assume this is the same person.  Catfish  Jim  and the soapdish  09:38, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The article I pulled from Organic Gardening gives some clues as does this Website:
 * University Professor aged 21 (so 1968-ish)
 * Doctorate in Anthropology
 * Worked with the Ford Foundation... presumably on accreditation of African American colleges in the 1960s.

 * Also appears to have taught pottery at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge: "Recently shown there was fine raku pottery by Howard Yana Shapiro, a young potter who teaches at the state university in Baton Rouge . Shapiro's work combines sturdiness with an expressive quality usually reserved for sculpture." . Then gone on to work at the Chicago Art Institute:  Catfish   Jim  and the soapdish  15:54, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Was publisher of The New Art Examiner. Quite a career change.  Catfish  Jim  and the soapdish  20:01, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I've seen mentions of a Howard-Yana Shapiro married to Nancy and to a Howard Shapiro, ceramicist, married to Alice. I'm inclined to think they are two different people. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 16:57, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
