Victor Spinski died on Jan. 21, 2013 surrounded by family. Victor, 72, was born in Poland in 1940, escaped the Nazi occupation with his late parents, Josef and Sofia Spinski, and spent his early childhood living in refugee camps and military bases throughout Europe as his father worked for the Allies and underground resistance.
Victor immigrated to the United States with his family after WWII, first settling in Brooklyn, N.Y., and then moving to Newton, Kansas. Fluent in Russian and Polish, Victor went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in Russian Literature at Emporia State University and then served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. After sustaining serious injuries in combat and months of rehabilitation, Victor attended Indiana University and earned his Master of Fine Arts in ceramics. In 1968 he moved to Newark, Del. to begin his 38-year tenure as Professor of Ceramics at the University of Delaware.
Victor distinguished himself as one of the foremost ceramic artists of the 20th Century, specializing in the genre of trompe l’oeil or “fool the eye”. Victor’s work has been exhibited and is in permanent collections across the United States and all over the world, including The Museum of Contemporary Crafts, The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Design, the American Craft Museum, and the Wustum Museum of Fine Arts.
Victor Spinski was a devoted husband, a loving father, an environmentalist, animal-lover and humanitarian, to name a few. His vision and influence in the ceramic art world will be felt for generations to come and his passing has left a hole in the hearts of too many to mention.
Victor is survived by his loving wife, Sally Van Orden, son, Tristan Spinski, daughter-in-law Sarah Spinski, two dogs, three stray cats, a flock of crows, and an undetermined number squirrels, groundhogs and mice.
A memorial service for Victor Spinski will be held at R.T. Foard Funeral Home, 122 W. Main St., Newark, Del. on Friday, Jan. 25 at 1:00 p.m. where friends and family may call beginning at 12 noon. Burial will follow at All Saints Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue (www.donkeyrescue.org) c/o the funeral home.

Many years ago I was privileged to be in a group workshop for mold making that Victor gave. He was so full of life and his stories were so much fun to hear. The workshop was one I will never forget. I just happened to be doing a search on a piece of his, to show to a beginner, and discovered his obituary. So sad to know that he's passed on. He will live on in the memory of so many. May God rest his soul.

I knew Victor since I was high school student. He was a good friend of my father's, Fred Kessler. I am very saddened to hear of this news, and I was not aware that he had passed away. Victor hired me during my junior summer in high school to work in his art studio to help organize various molds for his sculptures and projects. I got to know him pretty well; Always warm and easy going, Victor also had a great sense of humor and we shared many laughs together. Victor also taught me countless life and art lessons, and I will always treasure our conversations about a variety of topics including art, music, politics and history. Victor was a brilliant and original artist; Many of his sculptures were so realistic that I often mistook them for the real thing. He was truly unique and one-of-a-kind, and I am so grateful that I was fortunate to see him create and build his pieces, and subsequently to accompany him to galleries which featured his incredibly edgy, bold and hip art, with my favorite being the "VW Wagon Crashing Through the Wall Fountain." I would also like to wish Victor's family my condolences. I will always remember him and although I will miss him very much, I feel fortunate that l that I got to spend time with him and witness his incredible art.

Well Victor, so long pal. Can it really be 30 years? My dear dear friend and I drove across Canada and America in the winter to arrive at your camouflaged mail box in Deleware. I remember taking Tristan to the museum in Philadelphia, the Deer Park and breaking your window while trying to split firewood under the influence. My memory of you even after all these years was that every second was fun. Seize the day? ... phhht....a day was an eternity, seize the moment. I fondly remember the last word you said to me on 42nd st and Broadway at about 2 in the morning when you dropped me off in you VW van so I could get my bus back to Canada....."don't let the &^%'s get you Billie". I hope that I carry some of your kind heart with me Victor. Bill--

Thanks Victor, for giving me the space to loose myself in that wacky and wonderful ceramic studio called perfelope. Yours was the original 70s show full of wide-eyed and wondrous youth awkwardly (re)discovering themselves in a brave new world called clay. You were my mentor, the very first. You believed in me and inspired me to pursue a lasting career in the arts. And for that I will be forever grateful. Adios el heffe.

A great loss to the art world. Victor was a force of nature. Like many artists whose convictions run deep, Victor led with his sense of humor and negotiated the very tricky world of mentoring students without creating imitators. His early life I did not know, but it does not surprise me. I always sensed there was a fire inside him. I hope his family is comforted by how much he meant to so many.

I write my condolences to Victor's wife, his family, his students, colleagues, fellow visual artists and friends. We have lost a truly gifted creative artist and a kind, humorous, and considerate friend. On a personal note our interactions most often occurred in the Old College parking lot as Victor made his way from the art department office to the ceramics studio. Our conversations most often lasted for only a couple of minutes but meeting him almost always made me a much happier person.

I took ceramics with Victor Spinski probably in 1970-72. I, to this day, teach my students based on how Victor taught me. I remember walking into the ceramic studio the first day. Victor was around somewhere, maybe. There were clay recipes posted on the wall. I figured out that I had to mix my own clay. I figured out Victor thought we were all smart enough to figure out for ourselves most of the stuff. He wanted us to produce excellent, creative, and unique ceramics. We did. One day, I working on a castle night light creation. I had it covered in pastic to keep it moist. When I came in a day later, it looked like the plastic cover had been removed and replaced. I took off the pastic cover and found a piece of paper folded into one of the turrets on the castle. It was from Victor. Just a few words from my professor....... "Nice craftsmenship" it said. He never said much, but what he did say meant a ton. Thank you Victor for being one of my best teachers ever!! You expected the best, I thank you for bringing out my best.

Dear Sally & Family: I was so sad to learn of Victors passing. I absolutely loved working with Vic over the past 10 years or so - he was always so happy, helpful and full of energy. I would look forward to stopping by his studio, having one of his off-brand beers and just sitting, talking and playing with his cats. I admired his artistic talent and never tired of hearing about it and meeting his students. I especially treasure the day he took me up to his studio - a was in awe of what he's accomplished and the fact that he was known all over the world. Most of all I will always remember Victor as a wonderful man that I feel truly fortunate to have been able to call him my friend all of these years. I'm glad our paths crossed.

I was a student in Victor's ceramics program at the University of Delaware from 1970-72. I think I had taken one clay course at the school from which I transferred. Victor was a strong, scary presence and taught me a lot despite his being disinterested in, almost contemptuous of what most interested me at the time: throwing and traditional Asian ceramics. I remember how I pleased him later with a piece my husband called "six-pack of t*ts", and with a lustered fantasy sculpture based on Alice in Wonderland. That clay program was of immense importance to me, and I remember him vividly. I last saw him at an NCECA in Portland, OR quite a few years ago, and he seemed very much the same. I'm sorry that he's no longer with us, out there making his amazing work, and I wish his family all the best. Maggie Smith
