Clayarter Ababi Sharon, (Kibbutz Shoval, Israel)
Ababi has two pages of albums at Club Photo, featuring everything from
his children's classes to glaze tests, not to mention his paintings and
photos of Kibbutz Shoval. (Although some pages have only Hebrew fonts,
the photos are still of great interest.)
Aboriginal Pottery Gallery - Aboriginal Art Online (Hermansburg area)
> Aboriginal pottery and ceramics are a relatively recent development in Aboriginal art.
> While pottery is not a part of traditional Aboriginal culture, nevertheless it has become
> an important element in the wide range of techniques used in artistic expression. This
> is most stikingly evident in the work of the Hermannsburg Potters from west of Alice
> Springs in central Australia. What began initially as a training workshop in late 1990 in
> the outstations around Hermannsburg has developed into a thriving pottery studio with an
> international reputation.
Catherine Brennon (Africa)
Brennon works in white and terracotta earthenware clay. Some of her
work is influenced by the African environment. She uses the potters
wheel or handbuilds with coils and slabs. Her more sculptural work is
Raku or Smoke-fired. Lovely handbuilt bowls, many with lace impressions
of a superior nature.
Sally Hook Ozmosis Fired Arts) (Macksville, NSW, Australia)
Ceramic sculptures and sculptured art. Hook's work is mainly figural,
but includes other pieces, such as sculptural arrangements of vases.
Her figures have exaggerated proportions, and are often Rubinesque.
They are made with various combinations of blended raku and paper clays
and terracottas. Skin areas may be burnished and clothing may be
slip-impregnated or pigmented and glazed. She also has a production
studio making limited edition sculptures such as the "The Beach Bodies"
and "The Secret."
