Hi,
Here are some more of the sites I have found this month and last.
Hiroaki Wada - Kotoura Kiln: Kyo-yaki Porcelain and Shigaraki-yaki Potter=
y
Story by 2000 Cranes' Brian Nolan & Mariko Fushimi
Mmm-mmm!
Other Japanese artists can be seen on this site as well, such as:
Tomio Suzuki, Koji Kamada (lovely oil-spot-glazed teabowl), Yuichi Ikai,
and more.
Tsujimura Shiro
German site featuring Tsujimura Shiro's work. Click on "exhibitions :
tsujimura."
The pieces are zoomable.
Watanabe Kazue (K's Studio-6)
Very fine asymetrical vessels scattered thoughout this site, and
sculptural pieces as well.
Watanabe is also a writer and translator and has several literary pieces
on his site.
To see the clay work, click on the syllable "Clay" in the phrase
"Claywork &."
Also, check out the pages linked to "Shows." His students' page is also
interesting, I think.
Images are thumbnail sized, and can't be enlarged.
Staying in Tune: Traditions and Musical Instruments of the Francophonie
Accords francophones - Traditions and music of the Francophonie
A number of instruments are of ceramic, especially various African drums.

Mike Weber (Eau Claire, Wisconsin)
Studied ceramic sculpture at the Artigas Foundation, Gallifa, Spain;
teaches at Beloit College, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. He has been a lecturer and visiting
artist at the Kansai Gaidai University of Foreign Studies in Hirakata
City, Japan, amongst other places. His current work is human size,
polychrorne ceramic sculpture (shown) as well as wood-fired ceramics.
Susan Winthrop Pottery - Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada
Susan makes lovely raku pieces with finely drawn and coloured images
from the natural world. There are, sadly, only two images on this
one-page site, and they are not enlargeable, but they are very, very nice=
.
Charles S Allen of "New Castle Delft" (Newcastle upon Tyne, England, UK)
Traditional blue and white and polychrome ceramic wall tiles.
Formerly the New Castle pottery was the Maling Ford B Pottery.
Allen's tiles are hand made, and done on commission. He also does
restoration work, especially in Clarice Cliff's Jazz Age tableware,
which subsequently inspired some of his tile designs. He gives
workshops and offers residencies.
The Gres Museum (or the Stoneware Museum) (St Amand-en-Puisaye, France)
L=E9on Pointu, Georges Hoentschel, Paul Jeanneney
The art potters of France before the turn of the Twentieth Century were
very interested in Asian pottery, including the Chawan, or ceremonial
teabowl of Japan. The stoneware statue of Jean d=92Aire, part of the
Bourgeois de Calais group, as well as the head of Balzac, sculptured by
Rodin, were actually made by Jeanneney. (I should have known that the
marvelous head of Balzac was made by a person steeped in the lore and
skills of the ceramic arts.)
