Art of the modern potter

Fourteen of the world's leading potters and their work are gathered together in this book. The potters, of different nationalities, ages and backgrounds, are all the height of the powers, and the illustrations of their work affirm the author's belief that at the forefront of modern ceramics are to be found some of the most inspiring and enduring examples of modern fine art. Each artist is introduced with a detailed essay including descriptions of working methods and materials and all the ceramics illustrated are fully described, with details of glazing and firing.
