These are some of my pottery views from early January.
I checked the links, and changed a couple to their most current
settings.

Interesting UK clay artists:
Tessa Wolfe Murray

Contemporary Ceramics and Studio Pottery from "UK Ceramics"
Very fine design and unusual surface treatment for earthenware vessels.
Teena Gould
http://www.teenagould.com/
One of a kind gallery pieces and public art
Sculptural hand built vessel forms are complex in the making but
elemental in aspect.
Public art is hand built tile etc. on various forms.
Richard Phethean
http://www.phethean.clara.net/
Very assured work by this studio and teaching potter.
Good set of Q&A's.
Excellent though small format photos of throwing process (with text)
of jug, bowl, casserole, plus a series of photos of his raku firing
process.
Peter Beard
http://www.peterbeard.co.uk/
Superb form and decoration.
Pieces shown are one of a kind, mainly vessel-based, as well as on
various other solid or enclosed forms, and in some cases, on forms that
I might describe as showing the juncture of two dimensional space and
three-dimensional form.

What is Art? What is an Artist?
http://www.arthistory.sbc.edu/artartists/artartists.html
Sweet Briar College
"(...) Both the notion of "art" and the idea of the "artist" are
relatively modern terms."
"Many of the objects we identify as art today -- Greek painted
pottery, medieval manuscript illuminations, and so on -- were made in
times and places when people had no concept of "art" as we understand
the term.(...)." (Chris Whitcomb)

Hi all -
This article on black raku is very interesting to see the "traditional" Japanese approach
to raku. Also some great insights into fostering bubbling in glazes, and brushing glazes
(made with cmc) to hinder pitting, especially on rough clay. This was interesting to me,
since I discovered a couple of years ago that it was my solution to pitting on my slipped
and carved surfaces. Great pictures of the whole process and finished teabowl. Thanks
Helen, for this great link.
