Gorgeous, informative, large book!
Published by Kitt , 6 months ago
I didn’t realize this book was so big! It is a gorgeous addition to a coffee table or bookshelf. It provides a pretty comprehensive history of ceramics with a lot of pictures, mostly black and white but with some color pages. From ancient pottery to more modern works it has detailed information about how wares were made, production pottery studios through the ages, and specific contemporary artists. A great book of inspiration for different techniques and vessel shapes!
