One of the members of the "Artist Potters" group:
http://www.artistpotters.com
Other members include: Rob Barnard, Warren Frederick, Shiro Otani.
Good site with zoomable images, as well as articles.
I thought I'd listed this group some time ago, but can't find the
listing, so maybe not.
Well worth a visit.

Catherine is also has work with Guild Com:

I have mentioned the Guild Com site before, I think, but here's the home
page:
http://www.guild.com
Guild Com is a very extensive site. Very well-organized, you can still
easily get lost!

The Urasenke Way of Tea (illustrated article in the "Honolulu
Star-Bulletin")

Set-up and objects of use in the tea ceremony, ceramic and otherwise.
