Two potters named Jane (from Australia)...=20
Compare the work of these two potters. Both are excellent. =20
Jane Sawyer (Box Hill, Victoria, Australia) =20
http://www.christineabrahamsgallery.com.au/adisplay.cfm?id=3D134
http://www.ceramicartswa.asn.au/jspage.html
Luscious functional pieces for holding eatables and drinkables. =20
...
Jane Annois (Warrandyte, Victoria, Australia)
http://www.vipoo.com/vcg/gallery/page1/8jane_an_dec01.htm
Works in terracotta and in raku. =20
Jane Annois is a member of the Victorian Ceramic Group: =20
http://www.vipoo.com/vcg/
The VCG hosts the 10th. Australian National Ceramic Conference April
13th - 16th 2003 in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. =20
Michigan Guild of Artists and Artisans
http://www.michiganguild.org
This is the organization that holds "The Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair", one
of four simultaneous art fairs which take place on the streets of Ann
Arbor, Michigan, each July. =20
Exhibiting rules are exacting, and seniority of membership governs entry
to the summer fair (there is the holiday show at this time of year which
newer members may participate in.) =20
The work shown online in the Galleries section is highly polished and
likely to do well in a retail situation. =20
=20
The Treasure Valley Community College (Ontario, Oregon, USA) =20
http://www.tvcc.cc.or.us/Art/index.htm
Treasure Valley has a beginning Ceramics course online, but some of the
links work only in later browsers. Also, some links are out of date or
not yet enabled. Sound quality in some of the videos may be too soft,
or it could be my volume control settings that are corrupted...=20
There are photos from the "Mankato Workshop" held at Minnesota State
University in October 2002, featuring Judy Onofrio, Rudy Autio, and Don
Reitz. Although the Robert Piepenburg link image is broken, the link is
fine, so you can see lots of photos of the workshop he gave at Boise
State University November 2002. =20
The text link "Hank Murrow" appears actually to be to videos by TVCC
ceramics instructor Robin Jackson. They require you to download a
"Flash" player, which you can download through a link on the page. You
must have a late version of Microsoft's "Internet Explorer" (IE) to view
these, as downloading the flash player in Netscape, even the latest
version, will not evoke the player, even if you first download the video
and save it, then try to play it. Believe me. =20
Still, the Jackson videos cover a lot of basic techniques...=20
The "Hank Murrow" image link (Bowl) is in fact of Hank Murrow. These
are Quicktime videos. The format is not very big, and it's with them I
especially had trouble hearing what he was saying.=20
(Of course, we're "eavesdropping", I suppose, so we can't complain,
perhaps...=20
The Robert Brady link is good, with lots of photos and brief explanatory
text. =20
The Mata Ortiz links are to the Lydia Quezada and Rito Talavera Ceramic
Workshop October 4th and 5th 2001. More nice photos. =20
Likewise, you'll enjoy the Tony Martin workshop photos. Wheel work and
hand built work both demonstrated. =20
Watershed UK (Bristol, England, UK)=20
http://www.watershed.co.uk/
I pass this on since Watershed UK was mentioned recently on Clayart. No
clay here, though...=20
Here's the blurb from the site: =20
"Watershed is the South West=92s leading media centre for the digital age=
,
providing opportunities for all to experience, enjoy and learn about
contemporary moving image media. The programme of feature films, video,
multimedia, the Internet, still photography, courses and events is
presented in two cinemas, a digital caf=E9, darkrooms, a digital suite an=
d
on the world wide web." =20
Bryan Moore (Gympie, Queensland, Australia)=20
http://www1.tpgi.com.au/users/bmoore/
Bryan works with glazes inspired by the natural world of "Outback"
Australia. The pieces are porcelain, but translucency is not what he is
looking for, it seems to me, as the glazes are opaque and matte,
desert-like colours. He works at the wheel, but may do some slab work,
mainly for vases. He does some pictorial and some carved work also.=20
Here is an oil painting of the potter at work: =20
http://www1.tpgi.com.au/users/bmoore/ingleoil.gif
Hide Ebina (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
http://konekone.com/
Japanese inspiration is strong here, but the work is not all (or not at
all?) traditional. A prolific potter, whose work is functional, but
whose forms are strongly sculptural. Looks like high fired work, maybe
both porcelain and stoneware. =20
Frederick de la Cruz (San Diego, CA, USA)=20
http://www.firehouse-ceramics.com/index.htm
Raku work, quite strong forms, sculptural emphasis. I like the bizarre
head sculptures in Gallery Three. =20
