Surfing with Helen Bates - Urls from Friday, August 9th., 2002
Greetings to you all,
I never seem to catch up to the links I've saved. All during June and July I
was busy writing the Sept. PMI article, and I just collected interesting urls
and stashed them in a folder in my Netscape bookmarks.
Here are a few more.
Potters Alun Ward, Norma Caron-Ward, Melinda Ward and Michelle Goldberg
http://www.blueridgepottery.com/
Blue Ridge Pottery
The pottery is rustic looking but cheerful.
From the "Products" section of the site you can link to photos of the studio's
clay process.
The raku gallery has some neat cache pots and several more process photos.
The galleries function well and the thumbnails zoom easily to larger pictures.
Note: there are some job opportunities on the site.
Jim Budde (Sculptures may be considered by some to be "adult" content.)
http://www.boisestate.edu/art/faculty/fac.html
Budde was mentioned a couple of months ago on Clayart.
Also shown is work by fellow faculty member at Boise State, Ron Taylor.
Another Budde piece is nicely shown here:
catalogs/2000/formbyfire/showslide.htm?eve.jpg
A brown, unashamedly erotic Eve, holding a red apple with a strangely thickened
stem...
This page belongs to the astounding Solomon Dubnick Gallery:
http://www.sdgallery.com/
There must be a score of exhibitions on the site.
It would take someone even with a fast internet connection a couple of hours to
do it justice.
It would probably be worth it!
(Another site I've mentioned before.)
Peter Voulkos

Article with photos by John Balistreri
Online in Ceramics Art & Perception:

Don & Denise Carpentier - American Pottery Reproductions
http://www.daats.com/gac/articles/pottery.htm
Article on Don Carpentier's Pottery by Jonathan Rickard.
Don Carpentier
http://www.daats.com/gac/store/mocha.htm
Mochaware creamware, pearlware, and tortoiseshell pieces.
Denise Carpentier
http://www.daats.com/gac/store/denise.htm
Hand made, hand painted reproduction Chinaware.
The images can't be zoomed, so it is hard to tell if the pieces are thrown or
moulded.
Some pieces must be moulded, such as the fancy teapot.
Others have simpler forms, and the originals would perhaps have been made on the
potter's wheel.
"Eastfield Village"
http://www.daats.com/gac/eastfield/eastfield.htm
Carpentier's reconstruction of a village as it might have been in the late
1700's to around 1840.
Indiana State University Ceramics Department
http://www.fa.indiana.edu/html/fina/ceramics.html
Faculty & Staff: John Goodheart; Tim Mather; Malcolm Mobutu Smith; Christyl
Boger.
Students: Ashley Kim; Jared Janovec; Eileen Cohen; Justin Lambert; Yukari
Fukuta.
Reposted to give updated URL. Site not updated since April 2001.
Herron School of Art Ceramics Department
http://www.herron.iupui.edu/ceramics/
Another Indiana University with a ceramics program.
There are a few images of Faculty and Student work.
Use the small text link menu to follow "Faculty" or "Students"
Mark Richardson, Associate Professor Ceramics,
Jim Tisnado, Assistant Professor Ceramics.
Melissa Parrott's work from 1994 can be seen in the "Students" section.
"Class Schedule" has a full breakdown of the academic year for various levels.
Lynne Hodgman's photo diary of her visit to Otto Heino in Ojai, California:
http://www.hodgman.org/travel/ojai-2001/index.html
Shown are both the studio, with O.H. posing with Lynne and her daughter, and
Otto's garden.
A shaded porch attached to the house and overlooking the garden has at least
half a dozen assorted wheels!
Her site is linked to Otto's site as well:
http://www.ottospottery.com/
(Mentioned by me in a past posting I think)
Village Pottery - Herend, Hungary:
http://www.ivn.hu/majolika/eng_main.htm
The company has 300 employees and more than 100 painters.
The interesting part of the site is the very large number of line drawings of
forms produced at the factory.
Click on "Decors" then on any of the images to get to the beginning of the
"forms" pages.
There is no information on making methods, other than the hand painting.
Many of the basic form shown could be thrown or in some cases, jiggered or
jolleyed.
Judith Duff
http://www.judithduff.com/
Wood & Gas Fired Pottery
The Mid Atlantic Clay Conference in Front Royal, VA will feature Judith as a
principle artist in 2003.
Articles written by Judith will appear in the summer issue of Studio Potter and
the August issue of The Log Book.
Beautiful forms, and warm, quiet glazes.
Classic.
See more pieces (and this Canadian website I have posted before) at the
Selfridges' site:
http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/selfridg/ah,so%20you%20do%20it%20for%20the%20ash.htm
"Ah, So You Do It for the Ash: A Woodfiring Odyssey"
http://www.janesaddictions.com/bcraig01.htm
A few more at the Autumn Song Gallery site:
http://www.autumnsongart.com/art4.htm
Earlier work?
Aruvacode, North Kerala
http://www.kumbham.org/index.htm
A village famous for its potters, rejuvenated through the efforts of activist K.
B. Jinan.
Terra Cotta functional, architectural, sculptural and decorative pieces, as well
as some terra cotta furniture.
Lots of designs in the various pages.
Thumbnails only, but not too bad to view.
I particularly like the tiles.
