compound where he resided
with his second wife, Beverly,
and worked daily in his studio.
The heart of the property is
the rambling redwood house
he built and shared with the
late Alfreda, his first wife.
Filled with his handmade de-
tails and splendid collections
of art and craft, it is a National
Historic Landmark, open to
the public for tours (maloof

John “Jack” Prip, 86,
a silversmith whose classic
functional designs combined
European technical mastery
with American inventiveness,
died April 9. Born in New
York in 1922 to a Danish fa-
ther and American mother,
Prip grew up in Denmark and
apprenticed in his family’s
silver factory. At 26 he re-
turned to the u.S. to teach at
the School for American
Craftsmen in Rochester, and
later co-owned Shop One, an
early retail outlet for fine con-
temporary craft, with Tage
Frid, Ronald Hayes Pearson
and Frans Wildenhain. As
designer-in-residence at Reed
& Barton in the 1950s, he cre-
ated popular lines of flatware
and serving pieces in the mod-
ernist style. From i960 to 1981
he taught at the Rhode Island
School of Design. Prip was a
Fellow of the American Craft
Council and in 1992 received
the organization’s highest hon-
or, the Gold Medal.
Harry Dennis, 80, found-
ing publisher of
American Ce-
ramics,
died April 27 in New
York City after a brief illness.
A specialist in craft and de-
sign, Dennis started the maga-
zine in 1982, having sensed
the need for a critical forum
devoted to ceramic art. It has
documented the field ever
since, presenting leading art-
ists and distinguished writers
in an elegant, award-winning
design format.—j.l.
