J and J Trips - Pottery Tours in Myanmar and India
< http://www.jandjtrips.com/ >
Arts and culture ecotours and treks in India, Nepal, Myanmar (Burma),
Laos, Tibet and other special places, led by Jim Danisch and Oma Judith
Chase. See the link to their discussion of the controversial countries
Myanmar and Nepal. (The Nepal trip for 2005 has been cancelled, in
fact.) The Floating Pottery of Myanmar visit is so far still on the
program, but I wonder if the tsunami disaster will force a cancellation
there too? (The photo album is not enabled, unfortunately, but there
are some nice images on the main pages.

Catherine, E. Rosengren, (Lakota Tile Studio) (Lakota, IA, USA)

Veatrijs Van Rheeden, Veatrijs (Rotterdam, Netherlands)
< http://www.beatrijsvanrheeden.com/uk/index.html >
Porcelain sculptural objects made from Limoges porcelain from France.
The work is made by hand and pinchbuilt to a very fine and thin wall.
Garden seats are made of red or white firing stoneware that is
frost-resistant. Van Rheeden builds up these works as a whole, after
which it is cut into pieces which are then put back together for the
work to dry as one piece. After the biscuit fire certain parts are
glazed and fired again.
