terms and some small video clips on the coil and slab process are
viewable online. There are a couple of search utilities, but I couldn't
get them to work. Perhaps they are not ready.

Franklin Parrish Gallery (USA)

Elsa Rady. Resale artists: Robert Arneson, Kathy Butterly, Richard
Dillingham, Ruth Duckworth, Viola Frey, Andrew Lord, James Melchert, Ron
Nagle, Ken Price, Betty Woodman, Daisy Youngblood. In some browsers,
these galleries may invoke a Pop-behind window for some reason, but once
they are brought to the front, all is well. Close the pop-up before
clicking on a new name, or you can use the mouse's right button to bring
up a menu and select "Back" with the left button, if you're comfortable
with this technique.
