I don't see Allison Newsome from R.I. listed here. Her work is
spectacular and quite idiosyncratic. In fact, she is leaving for
China in a few days, delivering a piece to the JingDzen Pottery
works, now a new Museum for Ceramics. It seems she is going to the
Chinese version of NSECA as well.
She does not have a website (hmmm?...) but take the time to google her.

This is very interesting. I have combined all of the suggestions given so

that would include leading professional contemporary studio potters who hav=

the Americas. Although I respect and admire the work of the Southwest

Let's add Brian Gartside of New Zealand to the list.
I took a surface workshop from him in the late 80's in Priddis, Alberta.
In the evening we ate roasted lamb and vegetables from some kind of

Hi Clayarters,
I have been enjoying the discussions on earthenware firing and the =3D
wonderful
list of accomplished potters who use earthenware to express their =3D
talent.
While I do not put myself in their company, I was working with =3D
earthenware
probably before many of you were born. At the time I started out in =3D
clay, we
had a field tile manufacturing company across the river from us where we
bought the clay wet but in the extruded form, then we soaked, screened =3D
the
stones and earthen trash out of it and then used it for my early =3D
ventures in
clay. We also found a flower pot manufacturing company in Flat Rock,
Michigan where we purchased their cleaned terra cotta clay. My work =3D
caught
the eye of my teacher, Harvey Littleton, with the eventual enrollment in
Cranbrook. Meanwhile, I was entering area museum competitions. One in
particular was rather devastating to my ego. The Art Federation putting =3D
on
the competition hired a judge from the New York American Crafts Council
organization. When he saw my work, told me that stoneware was the only =3D
way
to go. Earthenware had no value. My quest at the time was to emulate
stoneware finishes by firing to Cone 1, getting a nice stony finish with =
=3D
the
glazes used. Another detriment was that in those days the glaze formulas
available for earthenware used white lead for a flux which I regretfully
used. Over the years I have continued to work intermittingly in low fire
clay, but using more primitive methods. Some of my work is shown on my =3D
web
page "Recent Works" page.=3D20
I would like to add Ed Gray's name to the list of accomplished =3D
earthenware
potters. His work is entirely fired in the pit or smoke embellishment
through my instruction and experience. He has attained control over the
process even to finding and grinding his own stones for surface =3D
coloration.
His professionalism is inherent in his work. Being part native American
perhaps negates him from this list as he pulls his inspiration from his
heritage but in his own original way. We have been mentoring each other =3D
for
many years and through his showing my work in his one time Traverse City
gallery, was instrumental in our move to Charlevoix back in 1965. Never =3D
one
to sit still, he now has a new gallery in the Upper Peninsula in the =3D
city of
Hancock where he has also started a new art center for the town.=3D20

I've been looking for historic pottery from Ireland. The
archeologist usually find indigenous pottery shards mixed with Devon
and French pots in Medieval Ireland. So I am guessing the Irish pots
were probably similar to the pots from those two places. If anybody
would have any information, I would appreciate any leads.

Below I am repeating the list I have compiled, with a lot of artists added.
I certainly have not added all the artists suggested, because many of them
do not meet the criteria of recognized potters working in the European-base=
d
earthenware vessel tradition. For example, Siddig El Nigoumi and Magdalena
Odundo were suggested, and although they both make fantastic work, neither
fit this tradition. Also, some people have suggested local earthenware
potters who have not achieved any significant national visibility, and I
have not added them. I am also primarily interested in potters working
today, although I have included a few 20th-century earthenware potters such
as Michael Cardew who had a major impact.
Hey, this is an informal list primarily for the benefit of me and anyone
else interested in this particular category of ceramics. It's nothing
official, so it's no big deal if some people are omitted. With every potte=
r
who was suggested, if I did not know about her/him, I Googled them to see
what kind of visibility they have on the Internet, and it would probably be
fun for you to do the same. I am learning a lot from this.

No reason that has to be the only list, though.

By all means. As I have clearly explained several times now, the list I wa=
