Hi All,

Here are some of the links I have from later January.

Bill Boyd (Canada)
http://www.billboydceramics.com/
More good general information for the public in this retail site.
Lovely high fire work. Crystalline glazes and other styles.


Bruce Howdle
http://www.geocities.com/b_howdle/main.html?953170953300
Interesting artist.
Much of his work is large scale relief wall murals.
Also makes large urns with high relief additions and free-standing
sculpture.
Specializes in the non-human figure, or in Western scenes.
Ignore the Geocities vertical banner and just click on "Procedure".
Lots of photos of wall sculptures being built and installed.


Hoyt Barringer

Barringer Pottery
Photos of immense wood-firing kiln and of absolutely -not- ho-hum
wood-fired pieces.

Barbara Knutson

Woodstock Clayworks.
Beautiful relief-sculpted vessels, frequently with fish themes.


George Scatchard
http://gslamps.com/
Has been making fine high fired lamps for 50 years. He uses an
unusual horizontal mould system and much wheel work in finishing and
glazing.
This is an excellent commercial and educational site for the public.
It has been greatly upgraded since my first visit there a couple of
years ago.


Robert Compton

Another solid Vermont potter.

John Balistreri
http://artserver.bgsu.edu/%7Ebalist/
Assistant Professor, Ceramics,
Bowling Green State University (Ohio)
http://www.bgsu.edu/departments/art/
Many photos of not only John's work, but of his student's pieces.
Furthermore, there are links to many images of working in Jun Kaneko's
studio, work with Peter Voulkos, and to his Denver Studio with Dan
Anderson, as well as a page of images of the BGSU ceramics department.
All images click to a separate medium window that stays on top as you
click from photo to photo on the page.
A wonderful, professional site, with images that are well worth the
visit.

Ernest Miller
http://www.aquariusartgallery.com/ErnestMillersworksforsalepg1.html
Deceptively simple forms.
Truly sophisticated work in a subtle marriage of the often
difficult-to-handle microcrystalline glaze with minimalist decoration,
gold, and ash glaze combinations.
