Surfing with Helen Bates - Clay Urls from later Nov 02 - submitted to Clayart November 25th., 2003

This is the second post today.
The other had a "work" title, sorry! (I said oooops! just after I sent it.)

Hackney, London.
Flash software plugin required for browser
(can download using link on site)
Not for those with slow connections or slow computers.
The kids will love it for its games section.
A 5-part throwing video is also available, for which the Flash
MX or Flash 6 plugin is needed.

Vince Pitelka (Smithville, Tn, USA)
http://iweb.tntech.edu/wpitelka/
Our Vince has his own web site.
And it's a well-built site, built by Vince himself.
See what he used to make, and what he makes nowadays.

Belhorn Auction Services

Click on July 14th Pictures for lots of Roseville, Weller,

Tim Eberhardt (St. Louis, MO, USA)
http://www.newartpottery.com/
"Art Pottery Tradition, inspired by nature, hand thrown,
one-of-a-kind, and intensely decorated" (and colourful!)

David Pier (Kansas City, MO, USA)
http://www.pestopesto.com/
Very exact (and exacting) work, and some unusual glazes.
Pieces may be thrown, or in some cases, slip cast.
Click the text of the first piece in the "Portfolio",
then use the forward arrow to progress through the show.

Valarie G. Lyle

Summa cum Laude, I should think!

Collen O'Reilly-Lafferty (Greensville, Ontario, Canada)
http://www.spiritedclay.com/
Colourful tableware and other pieces, including tiles
and pulls in porcelain. Very livable colours, neither
too pale nor too intense.


Dennis Meiners and Leslie Lee (Oregon, USA)
http://www.DennisMeiners.com/
Very fine work by Leslie in Raku sculptural vases.
Also very fine high fired stoneware functional vessels, bowls and platters by Dennis.
Two very different personalities!

Note: November urls done to date, but lots left from the summer.
