Photo of W.M. as well as ten pots by W.M.
Note, I surfed to these pots by doing a search in Netscape (it links
with the Google search engine).
The photo collage are from Lee Love's Mingei group at Yahoo Groups ...
It's a bit of a surprise to be able to access them this way without
joining Yahoo Groups (although of course, the group is open to
anyone.)

http://www.absolutearts.com/cgi-bin/portfolio/your-works.cgi?login=rakku
More hand built work, as well as a couple of thrown vessels with
incised patterns.
Much of this artist's work is hand built work, showing stark design
and high contrast of line, colour and form. Other pieces have a
warmer, more rounded aspect.
