Brother Bruno LaVerdiere
20th Century
American, (1937–2022)
Bruno LaVerdiere was an American ceramicist and educator. In 1955, LaVerdiere was admitted into St. Martins Abbey, where he took his solemn vows to become a Benedictine Monk and re-named brother Bruno after St. Bruno of Cologne. An apt namesake, Bruno, like his patron saint, found his calling through the hermetic and silent practice of his craft. During his 14 years in the monastery from 1955-1969, Bruno apprenticed with Japanese ceramicist Henry Takemoto, took a pilgrimage to Lima, Peru to study Inca archeological sites and moved to NYC to study Modern figurative sculpture at the Art Students League.
