- Back in 1859, the brothers Cornwall and Wallace Kirkpatrick opened a pottery factory in Anna Illinois. The Kirkpatricks had located a source of Kaolin clay north of Jonesboro that was perfect for making fine stoneware that would soon be the raw material for a thriving business.
But it wasn't just the fine light brown clay that would assure their success. Moreover, it was the creative genius that transformed the squishy clay into surprisingly earthy figures of frogs, snakes and pigs that tell us a lot about the era and its politics through their imaginative use of symbolism and irony.
Over they years their creations have been recognized as not just novel stoneware but as highly coveted and extremely collectable pieces of art. Just Google Anna Pottery and you'll see a thriving trade for these items as people pay thousands and thousands of dollars to own one of these unique treasures.
Anna Pottery is all over the internet, but you don't have to pay a...

- Beekeeping in Southern Illinois
- Date posted

- Description
- Scott Martin and Angelique Kuehl belong to a local network of beekeepers who share information and equipment and work to promote beekeeping and its health and environmental benefits. In this episode of WSIU InFocus, Martin and Kuehl offer us a closer look at the interworkings of hives and share some of the techniques they use, such as using smoke to keep the bees from attacking. They also point out different kinds of bees and the internal structure of hives, and demonstrate how to look for evidence of a queen bee and how to extract honey.
This extensive InFocus segment grew into a full length program when Angie Kuehl showed us a hive that was not thriving because it lacked a queen. Members of the beekeeping network were planning to capture a colony of feral bees that could be used to help Kuehl revive the hive, which in turn would protect the property owner from injury and save the bees from certain extermination.
When the beekeeping group arrives at the locat...

- Remember The Removal
- Date posted

- Description
- The Cherokee called it "The Trail Where They Cried." In the 1830s, thousands of Cherokee men, women, and children were herded by federal forces from their ancestral homeland in the Southeastern United States to Indian Territory in eastern Oklahoma. Forced by the military to travel by foot, wagon, and horse along overland and water routes during horrible weather conditions, over 4,000 of them perished from exposure, starvation, and disease. Hundreds of Cherokee died in Southern Illinois where they were trapped between the frozen Ohio and Mississippi Rivers during the frigid winter of 1838-39.
In the summer of 2009 -- 171 years after this tragic story in our nation's history -- team of eight young Cherokee students, their chaperones, and the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, Chad Corntassel Smith, retraced the steps of their ancestors as part of the Remember the Removal bicycling team. Their journey, which began in Georgia and concluded in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the capi...

- The revolution WILL be televised when it comes to ground-breaking developments in electric car technology if media entrepreneurs and innovators Jack Rickard and Brian Noto have anything to do with it. On the next WSIU InFocus, find out how Rickard and Noto have built a world-wide audience for custom electric car builders conversions out of a small garage in Rickard's hometown of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
Experience the men gained in publicizing and organizing trade shows for the fledgling internet industry years ago inspired them to launch their weekly EVTV.ME online video series to provide electric car enthusiasts with detailed information about how to convert traditional gasoline powered cars into electric autos. "In order to talk cogently about how you can build a car in your garage, we needed to build one," Rickard says. But they didn't stop at just one car. Instead, they have several projects up and going at any given time while conducting a wide range of exp...

- Home Brewing
- Date posted
- 13 years ago
- Description
- We meet several award-winning home brewers in southern Illinois who are creating craft beers that rival the quality of commercially-made beer, including Ryan Tockstein of Benton, Ill., president of the Southern Illinois Brewers club and co-owner of Scratch Brewing Company, in Ava, Ill. Tockstein shows us how easy it is to brew beer at home from scratch using a method called "all grain" brewing. We also visit with other club members to compare and contrast their operations to those used by Tockstein's.
Home brewing systems can be fairly elaborate, as InFocus learns when we examine a heat-controlled mash tun (pronounced "tune") built by Sam Davis of rural Du Quoin, Ill. Davis says he built this device in order to have complete control over his mash temperature during the process of steeping barley malts into wort (pronounced "wirt," as in "dirt"). Wort is the starchy essence of barley malts steeped in hot water, to which yeast is then added to cause fermentation.

- Herbert L. Fink became one of the Midwest's most popular graphic artists during more three decades at Southern Illinois University's School of Art and Design, and his work continues to be highly sought-after by a growing number of collectors following his death in 2006.
Perhaps best-known for his exquisitely crafted regional landscapes, figure drawings, and fantastic allegorical illustrations, a collection of his work housed at SIU's University Museum reveals that Fink was easily at home in a wide variety of artistic genres including cubism and abstract expressionism.
On this episode of WSIU InFocus, SIU professor of Art and Design Kay Zivkovich, a former graduate student and model of Fink's, shares an insider's appreciation for her friend and mentor's artistic vision and unique personality as she explores the Museum's Fink collection and brings in other examples of his work with host Jak Tichenor.

- Little Toot is a working coal-fired, steam-powered, miniature gauge locomotive that has become a major attraction at Charley Brown Park in Flora. In this episode, we explore the history of the train - from its beginning in 1959 when Gaylon Borders bought the first engine and passenger car from the Crown Metal Products Company and created a track layout for it in Charley Brown Park to its move to Centralia by Jim Adams, who later sold the train, to its return to Flora by Clint Green.
InFocus talks with Green, who manages the company and now has three engines, about his motivation for bringing Little Toot back to life and the hard work that he and a dedicated group of volunteers put into keeping the trains operational. He also leads the InFocus crew through the process of rebuilding one of the engines and shares the joy of watching it work after the engine's valve assembly is adjusted.
