Do you know of a good pottery artist?

I need clay, natural materials, mixed media, natural tones.. All sorts along those lines.
(I want to create some pottery inspired by ancient methods, styles, and materials)

So far I have Cecile Daladier, Suzie Chaney, and Anne Fallis Elliott.
And this blog, anca gray, is super helpful, too.

Any imagery, information, and inspiration would be really appreciated, thankyou. :) 

Hello everyone :)

My current art & design project at college is based on ancient traditions, customs, beliefs, views, religion, symbols.etc to do with death.

So far I’m thinking of creating some clay figures decorated with natural materials, maybe something along the lines of the pots, coffins, tombs.etc that the Ancient Egyptians used. 

So if anyone has any help, information, questions, inspiration, opinion, art, poetry, quotes…
Anything at all to do with death really, please message me.

Thankyou! ♥

King George III on Flickr.“The Osmington White Horse is a hill figure sculpted in 1808 into the limestone Osmington hill just north of Weymouth called the South Dorset Downs, within the parish of Osmington. The figure is of King George III, who regularly visited Weymouth, and made it ‘the first resort’, riding on his horse, and can be seen for miles around. … There is a legend that King George was offended that the figure was riding out of Weymouth — a sign that he was not welcome — and never returned.” “In August 2011 pranksters added a ‘horn’ made from plastic sheeting to make the horse resemble a Unicorn. The Osmington White Horse is the only figure that is a case of both leucippotomy and gigantotomy” - info from wikipedia. Surprised I spotted this in the distance from Portland - I couldn’t see it too clearly to begin with, but my camera acted as a telescope. :)
