Superb resource for students of ceramic art
This book has it all: design principles, 'making' techniques and inspiration in bucket loads. It encourages careful thought and a very practical approach to planning and design, whilst not for one minute forgetting that ceramic art's greatest attraction is in the fun of getting your hands on clay and making, making, making! Lovely photos, and a lots of ideas for making your own ideas come to life. Great for anyone who is pursuing a ceramics qualification as it explains all the stuff you need to know about primary and secondary sources and how to develop mood boards, sketch books, etc. Inspirational and helpfully practical. A lovely book.
