Pioneer Pottery

Rating:
Summary: Strongly recommended reading for students of the art
Review: First published 33 years ago by Michael Cardew, a respected expert in British ceramics, Pioneer Pottery is a superbly presented and classic work enhanced with excellent black/white illustrations and photography (including a new color section of previously unshown works), and a new introduction by the author's son. An extremely solid reference to the art of pottery, from the chemical composition of pottery clay to sculpting, firing, and painting, Pioneer Pottery is a first-rate guide and is strongly recommended reading for students of the art, history, and joy of pottery.
