Baker, Stan (Highers Pottery Studio) (Ann Arbor, MI, USA)

Tableware and other functional pottery, including a line of cook ware
made with special clay that Mr. Baker states will withstand the heat
shock of the oven without preheating the pot. (Besides his own work,
Stan has an online show of work by his mentor J.T. Abernathy)

Texas Crafts Exhibition (Winedale Spring Festival) (Round Top, TX, USA)
