Potters from Around the World

The list of excellent potters who also have web sites is growing. Here are a few of my favorites:

Andrea Fabrega makes some of the most beautiful and amazing miniature porcelain pots I have ever seen. You know you are in for a treat when you see her thumb and finger in the picture with 3 of her pots on her home page.

Another wood firer is Richard Charters of Harehope Forge Pottery in the UK. He throws large terra-cotta garden pots on a homemade wheel.

Andy and Deborah Van Ness operate Van Ness Studios in Roxbury, VT. They make wonderful, functional stoneware enhanced with medieval and Celtic designs applied by sgraffito.

John and Lynette Bennett make well designed and executed functional porcelain and stoneware in their Oregon studio. They also make decorative "sea sculptures."

Paul Lewing is a superb tile artist and glaze chemist. He has just launched his website, paullewingtile.com and it is well worth a visit.

David Hendley is a wood-firer par excellence. He also makes most of his own tools and, of course, builds his own kilns. He makes beautiful functional stoneware.

For information on what is going on in Wales visit The Chappel of Art. Run by Janet and Eckhard Kaiser, it sits in the shadow of Criccieth Castle and is a Centre of Excellence for the visual and performing arts in Wales.

Chas Noble of Noble Stoneware Pottery in Cherokee, Iowa makes a wide range of well designed functional stoneware pottery.

Robert Compton of Robert Compton Pottery throws giant pots and makes some unusual things like hanging ceramic aquariums. He also give give workshops. He has a great new site built for him by his wife, Christine.

Dave and Pat Eitel have been earning their living from pottery for more than 20 years. At their Cedar Creek Pottery they make reduction fired stoneware and porcelain.

Rusty Wiltjer of Wiltjer Pottery in Waterford, Maine specializes in wheel-thrown stoneware sinks; however he also makes a full line of stoneware and porcelain pottery.

Mata Ortiz Pottery has a very nice site showing the work of master potters who work in the tiny village of Mata Ortiz, Mexico.
