Synopsis
Recently,, the Raku pottery technique has become increasingly popular among professional and hobby potters alike. This volume traces the history of Raku, including its introduction to the West by Bernard Leach in the 1920s and up to the present day. The main thrust of the book is an exploration of a number of international potters who use the medium today. These range from the monumental work of David Roberts to the "sculptural" work of Paul Soldner, the animated figures of Michael Flynn and the textured pots of Jeff Mincham. The book offers a considerable amount of practical information but is primarily intended as an inspiration for potters and as a source of delight for those interested in contemporary ceramics.
