Dear Clayarters,
More sites from a little earlier in February.

Shown at Baltimore Clayworks May 2002;
Reopens May 2, 2003 and runs until May 11th., at the United States
National Arboretum's National Bonsai and Penjing Museum.
"(...M)erges two art forms contemporary ceramics and bonsai by
displaying classically trained bonsai in unique containers designed by
world-renowned ceramic artists. Fundamental to the art of bonsai is the
concept that a tree's container should complement it, never overshadow
it. In this (...) show, sixteen extraordinary containers demand their
share of attention. (...)."

Nathan Brown (Padukah, KY, USA)

Centered Studios - thrown utilitarian pieces with unique visual impact.
Tom Turner and Gail Russell (Lewis Center, OH, USA)
http://www.peachblowpottery.com/
Very strong studio production by both potters.
Peter Saenger.
http://saengerporcelain.com/
Original designs and all of the mold making and glazing is the work of
Peter Saenger. Specializes in groupings of vessels that fit together
for compactness but can be separated for use. (Teapots and
teacups/mugs, groups of tumblers, etc.)
Peta Hall (Bloomfield, ON, Canada)

A couple of great photos of Peta Hall, who was my first pottery teacher.
