Beverley Toyu=20
http://www.pcez.com/~den/toyu/toyu.htm=20
Beverley has been making Life Masks since 1975. =20
What I am intrigued by is the quiet mood that is achieved with the
closed eyes of the model, necessitated by the technique used in making
the masks . =20

Three Clayarters worth a visit...

Fran=E7oise Melville - http://indalopottery.tripod.com =20
Clayart member with interesting web pages;=20
There's cute movie of mudwoman forming on wheel in a dance of joy and
dissolution;=20
Another movie requires Quicktime (and a system big enough to run it
after you install it!) =20
Raku kaleidoscopes very good designs=20
Directions for making "holey" raku bowls=20
Some of the pages have pleasant midi music, with proper left hand, not
that awful jangled accompaniment that I sometimes have to endure until
I can turn it off. =20

Coffee, D. Michael - http://www.dmcarts.com=20
Another Clayarter with many "one of a kind" pots strongly
reduction-fired at cone 10.=20
I like the forms he comes up with and I like the colours and textures
he achieves, and also how his colour,
texture, marks and forms work together. =20

Gayle Bair - http://claybair.com
Yet another clayarter...=20
I particularly enjoy her decorated bowls and tumblers. =20
