Marie Glasse Tapp, and Delia Tapp (Tile Restoration Center) (Seattle,

National Ceramic Museum (Museo Nacional de la Ceramica) (H-a-v-a-n-a,

Click on "Visite Virtuale" or "Galleria" to view several pages of
zoomable thumbnails of works by Cuban ceramicst from the 1950's through
the 1990's. The enlarged images are still fairly small. No doubt size
has been constrained by the limits of the Cuban Internet server being
used. (The site loads fairly slowly, even for a fast-loading broadband
connection, so load the images in a second tab, if you can, and maybe
also open another browser window and look at some of these other sites
meanwhile.)

Sculptures often utilizing a minimalist colour palette amplifying
textured surfaces. (Web site dark for my tastes and / or monitor.)

Paulus Berensohn and Jimmy Clark (of Peters Valley) gave two seminars
on pinch pots and smoke firing in Germany in the summer of 2003, one in
Krehfeld, the other in Muhlacker. Lots of pictures... Text in German
Paulus Berensohn was a presenter at NCECA 2005 (Baltimore, MD, USA)

Author of "Finding One's Way With Clay", 1972

(The prices for used copies vary wildly. I got mine, a cloth-covered
hardcovered copy, a few years ago, not in pristine condition,
admittedly, but quite useable, for $5CAD.) (Today on addall.com I
found prices varying from $10USD for a paper-covered reprint from the
mid-1980's to $174.95 for a cloth-bound hardcover with jacket, the
latter with some tears.!)
North Carolina State University Crafts Center (Raleigh, NC, USA)
http://www.fis.ncsu.edu/Crafts_Center/
The NCSU Crafts Center's 40th. Anniversary silent auction was held late
this winter. To view the work that was on offer, click on "Silent
Auction Exhibition: January 31 - February 26." (There are lots of clay
pieces, but you will have to guess a bit, from the thumbnails, as only
the artists' names are given, not the media.)
Kenneth Chin-Purcell (Bungalow Pottery) (Minneapolis, MN, USA)
http://www.bungalowpottery.com/
Chin-Purcell's amazing glazes are made by him from the raw materials
and fired to cone 9 oxidation in an electric kiln! His thrown, carved,
and altered and added-to forms are substantial and attractive.
