Surfing with Helen Bates - urls from August 3rd., 2002
The Auckland Studio Potters:
http://www.ceramics.co.nz/
A pottery organization with a major focus on teaching ceramics at levels ranging
from beginners on up.
There's a link from here to Peter Lange's amazing "Brick Boat":
http://www.geocities.com/brickboat2002/
An anagama kiln built on the Aukland Studio Potters property then floated to
Peter's home where it was to be installed.
The Ceramic Study Group of Western Australia
http://members.iinet.net.au/~sujon/ceramicstudygroup/
Features "Armchair Potting with Mike Kusnik."
Links to photos of a salt firing and a group clay dig.
Members Gallery: Raku Works by Francine Haines & some links to other members'
sites.
Sandra Dolph.
http://www.gulfislands.com/cedargrovepottery/
Cedar Grove Pottery on Galiano Island, BC, Canada
Work in Raku and Lichen glazes.
One page site with just a few pots, but good form and design and well finished
appearance.
Images can be enlarged without too much pixilation in a photo editor if you want
a closer look.
Larry Watson:
http://www.watsonclay.com/
This "Java" site allows you to click on the mouse on work within the various
collections
in the two Gallery pages and zoom just a couple of the items portrayed at a time
(or similar ones.)
A second layer of zooming is also available from there.
Watson is a self-taught potter working in Kentucky.
The ware is functional, high fired work.
The additions are sometimes ornate; some glazes don't cover the pieces fully.
"New Mexico Experience" (British site)
http://www.fscoverseas.org.uk/newmex.htm
This is a course being run by British archaeologist and potter Carolyn
Postgate. She has
arranged for local experts Thomas Merlan, former director of the New Mexico
Historic Preservation
Division; Frances Levine, an ethnohistorian; Gail Tierney, who is working on a
comparative study
of plant use and agriculture of southwestern native peoples, to tutor this
course.

In Netscape, to zoom pictures right click the mouse pointer over the thumbnail

http://www.fscoverseas.org.uk/newmex95/newmex16.htm
Netscape: image is full size - no further zooming available.
For IE: load this url:
http://www.fscoverseas.org.uk/newmex95/newmex16.jpg
(This is a quite a rarity to me, that Netscape works better with a site than IE
does.)
