Steven Dark (Pottery Central) (Gulf Shores, AB, USA)
http://www.stevendark.com/
(Sculptor, potter, Gallery owner, and Art Instructor)
"Although I am well-educated in the conceptual aspects of sculptural
clay art, I have always considered myself to be primarily a traditional
vessel maker." (Pots with teeth!)
Donna Nicholas (Edinboro, PA, USA)
http://www.npaaonline.org/artists.asp?id=62
(A member of the Northwestern Pennsylvania Artist Association, and
until 1996, a professor at Edinboro State University)
"For most of my studio career, I worked abstractly. [...] During the
‘90’s I revisited Japan, [...] [where m]y focus was collecting the
taped autobiographies of the Japanese women who had broken the ‘men
only’ paradigm in ceramics [...]. This research, plus my reflection on
the many life stories I had heard as an art
professor/mentor/confidante, initiated a strong desire in me to depict
my ideas in a more direct fashion." (Nichol's present work is an
exploration of combining birch and clay elements)
