Surfing with Helen Bates - It's Spring! March 20th., 2006 - France,
UK, Guatemala, USA

Most of the artists shown here have a strong concern with the
decoration of the surface.

But first, a few links about Jade Snow Wong
(1922-2006) (San Francisco, CA, USA)
http://www.chsa.org/
(Jade Snow Wong Retrospective) (Hover mouse pointer over "Exhibitions"
link and select "Past Exhibitions" then at that page scroll down to the
link: "Jade Snow Wong: A Retrospective.") (Many of the pieces in this
exhibition were part of her one-women show at the Art Institute of
Chicago in 1952 and were then put into storage for the next 50 years.)

Marko Fields (Minneapolis, MN , USA)

vessels of often sardonic content.) (Some figural material includes
small male nudes)

Zaytceva, Irina (Klaudia Marr Gallery) (Born in Russia, now in USA)
http://klaudiamarrgallery.com/Ceramics/Irina_Zaytceva/index.html

overglaze as well as underglaze painting plus an extensive use of 18K
gold.)

Crystallines 2005 Juried Exhibition (Vallauris, France)

(International Exhibition of Macro Crystalline Glazes 2005) (Several
Clayarters have work and a page here: Avril Farley, Diane Creber,
Ilene Mahler, Jon Price, William Melstrom, Denis Caraty) (The artist
pages are images, and if you're clever, instead of the web page, you
can load the actual image and view it at its large size)
