KERAMIC STUDIO 
143 
MRS. DOROTHEA WARREN O'HARA 
DOROTHEA WARREN had long been in ceramic work in 
Kansas City, Mo., before she became Mrs. O'Hara, and 
had attained prominence while still studying with the leading 
American decorators at that time, Bischoff, Fry, Mrs. Robi- 
neau and others. Later she studied abroad with Lewis F. Day 
of London, and at the Royal College of Art; also at Herr von 
Debschitz' School of Design in Munich. After she had settled 
in New York and had become Mrs. O'Hara, she began to take 
a more prominent position and is now one of the few at 
the head of the ceramic profession. Mrs. O'Hara was awarded 
Life Membership in the National Arts Club of New York for 
what she has accomplished in the development of keramics, 
also a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Her work 
has been illustrated both in English and German art journals, 
such as the Studio Year Book, "Der Kunst" and "Kunst im 
Hand Werk." 
Two of Mrs. O'Hara's vases have been purchased by the 
National Museum in Tokio, Japan, and she has executed an 
important commission for the late Pierpont Morgan after an 
exhibition in London. 
She is now president of the Keramic Society of Greater New 
York, which owes much of its present high standing to her un- 
tiring efforts, doing much to create a feeling of good fellowship 
in the society and helping to elevate the ideals of the members 
in their work. She is also the present president of the New 
York National Society of Craftsmen, and a director of the Art 
Alliance of America.
