Performing Arts) (Tyler, TX, USA)

(Figural sculpture installations:
(Urban Wildlife: "The idea of camouflage, a means of concealment or
disguise that creates the effect of being part of the natural
surroundings, is the basis for color and surface texture selections of
this work. Browns and gray- the familiar colors of wildlife camouflage
found in North America- are replaced with "urban camouflage"; a myriad
of manufactured colors and references to materials found in the urban
landscape."
Memories near and Far: "depicts the transformation, emotionally and
psychologically, that occurs when childhood meets adulthood. The loss of
naivet=E9, accumulation of experiences and memories, and the release of
memory necessary to move on to new experiences mark this transition.")

Susan and David Burge (Groovy Tools) (Lawrenceburg, KY, USA)

(In their 300 series of of medium guage ceramic tools, the Burges claim
the steel used is resistant to abrasion from clay and at the same time,
"tough enough to be impacted and not break.") (Caveat: I have never
tried their tools... )
