Surfing with Helen Bates - Online Galleries and Wood-firing - December
6th., 2004
Hi all,
The choice of sites is eclectic. One gallery site does have a
wood-firing sculptor, Susannah Israel, but otherwise the two categories
do not necessarily co-incide in one site. :)
NCECA 2004 Photo Gallery - Claytimes web site

These photos are of people and pottery or sculpture seen at NCECA 2004,
Indianapolis.

Susannah Israel (A New Leaf Gallery) (San Francisco, CA, USA ?)
http://www.sculpturesite.com/artists/Isra.lasso
Ceramic sculpture, definitely "edgy." Some pieces high temperature
wood-fired to cone 14. Pages a bit slow to load when I visited...
The "Sculpturesite" http://www.sculpturesite.com/ of the contemporary
abstract and figurative sculpture gallery "A New Leaf Gallery", of
Berkeley, CA, USA has work by other ceramic sculptors, including
Kristin Gudjunsdottir and Tony Natsoulas. There is a search feature.
For media searches, type "clay", "terracotta", "ceramic", "stoneware",
"porcelain" in the "Description" space and press the "Enter" key or
click on either "Search" button.

Wood Fire potter who makes well-balanced assymetrical and often quite
colourful functional forms. Kiln photos and diagrams available.

Steve and Becky Lloyd (Princeton, MN, USA)
http://lloydpottery.com/
Wood fired Pottery by this husband and wife team. Becky's black and
white pottery is finely carved. Although Steve's pottery is most often
"decorated" by the movement of the flame over the surface of the pieces
in the kiln, some of his work is also decorated by carving before
succumbing to the fire's caress... The Lloyds' use a hybrid of the
Japanese "Noborigama" and the western "Sprung Arch" kiln. (Photos
online)
