Another site that needs lots of time to do it justice.
(These names were just some of the ceramics artists to be
seen in the various pages of this site.
In fact, one of the neatest features of this site is the
"Virtual Gallery" which allows you to gather on one page
all the thumbnails of one artist or one type of work.

An "Wild" Irish Rose:

Rosemarie Durr (Kilkenny, Ireland)

Functional ware of an exceptional beauty of form and colour.

some of her ware is "unsuitable for food" because of their
"dry glaze", but they may be used as vases or fruit bowls.

Some pieces thrown, others hand built.

That's all for this past week's surfing or goofing off!
