This greatly expanded and updated edition features more than 300 beautiful colour photos of the most innovative work being done in the ceramics field today. Works by leading artists are showcased in sections on utilitarian pottery, non-utilitarian pottery, sculpture, and work in the wall piece format. This second edition is a perfect blend of the technical and aesthetic aspects of ceramics, featuring historical background information, analysis of image creation strategies, and numerous technical photos. Several photo essays show such processes as raku, throwing on a wheel, hand forming in a press mould, working with coloured clay, and more. Potters will find invaluable advice on buying and formulating clays, choosing and applying glazes, firing clay bodies, and much more. Includes over 300 stunning colour photographs.
