Hello,
I've just got back to my collection of clay urls after a busy time
seeing 8 "alternative" films in a row, plus doing some genealogical
surfing and writing my latest article for PMI.
Enjoy these sites...

Ruby's Clay Studio & Gallery (San Francisco, CA, USA)
A non-profit studio for ceramic artists which offering an environment
where age, race, ethnicity, and orientation are unimportant.
(Clayarter Bonita Cohn is on staff.) History of the studio: Ruby
O'Burke, a Northern California ceramic artist, who had studied with
Antonio Prieto, Sr., established the artist's workshop in 1962 to
provide studio facilities and a supportive environment for potters to
develop their craft. It was her hope that many artists would "outgrow"
the Workshop and set up their own studios."

and community outreach activities. Artists: Carol Badran, Russell

Tony Natsoulas (Sacramento, CA, USA)
A well-known ceramic sculptor from the "California Funk" tradition
originated by Robert Arneson. There isn't much information with some of
the images, but except for the public works, most of them seem to be
ceramic, sometimes with additions of wire or other materials. I'm also
not sure whether the pieces are glazed or painted.

The gallery's focus is on "contemporary West Coast working artists,
international folk Art, historical prints and illustrations, vintage and
modern art pottery, and art related antiques and collectibles."

Hum, Kris Kessey, Matthew Patton, Mildred Rose, Cindy Searles, Susan
