The New Observer has a great write up on Peter Ross. They provide a lot of background and detail, discussing both his current work, and how he got started. It has a number of nice photographs of his work. He is making headlines in the local paper since he recently decided to open up his workshop for the Chatham Studio Tours. If I were located anywhere around Chatham, North Carolina I would be sure to take the tour. You can find more information on the tour's website.
