Description

Captures the feel of the ceramicist’s studio with new appreciation for the beautiful, functional, and accessible works being produced by a new generation of makersCeramics is back in a big way, experiencing a steady surge of interest and popularity not seen since the 1970s. The return to the handmade, driven by our increasingly digital lives, means there are now more makers, sellers, and collectors than ever. There is also a new desire for unique objects made by hand and the imperfections associated with the marks of the maker. Pottery captures this authenticity in ways no other medium can.From decorative pieces to the beautiful but functional, to sculptural works pushing the boundaries of the medium, Clay surveys the rich creative output of fifty of the top studio potters from around the world. It is a celebration of a new generation of artisans working in clay, a snapshot not necessarily of what is happening at the elite gallery level but rather a behind-the-scenes look at unique and eclectic offerings, both functional and sculptural, from small studios around the world. 250+ color illustrations Read more

  • Great selection of artists
Very good slice of the modern pottery arts movement. Artists featured are quite varied, and experimental. Comprehensive enough to satisfy.

  • Not a true “hardcover”
I wish I had read more reviews before purchasing. This is described as a hardcover but it is not in the sense you would assume. The cover is a hard cardboard and not reinforced like a traditional hardcover.
