Li-jung Chen (San Diego, CA, USA)
http://www.sandiegopottersguild.org/chenli.html
> Li's pots often are thrown and altered, with added on appendages
> and/or handcarving. She likes to enrich surface texture using
> rolled on or stamped pattern, carving, or forcing a wet leather
> hard pot from the inside outward to create cracking. She also
> experiments with glazes. Li does raku, sagar firing but the
> majority of her pots are fired to cone 10 in gas or electric kilns.

(Chen Li-jung and her husband Lloyd Chen are both prolific potters,
especially Lloyd, and both do amazing [and quite different] work.) (I
don't think I've had that breathless feeling before from saggar-fired
ware that I just got looking at some of Lloyd's vases.)

(Once fired functional pottery, mostly wheel-thrown, and fired in a wood
fueled, kiln he built himself)
