As a ceramic artist you know clay has no limits. You can take your work in any direction you want—use the clay as a canvas to paint on, treat coils like you were a weaver, or use printing processes like a printmaker. You can burnish and pitfire like the ancients or use rapid prototyping technology from today's high-tech world.

In Ceramic Art: Innovative Techniques you'll discover ceramic artists who do a bit of everything—innovative forming, unusual surfaces, spectacular glazing and more. With more than 20 artists, you'll enjoy the many stories they share about the direction they've gone in, and the processes they've perfected. From cutting up credit cards for extruder dies to coating a wedding dress with slip, there are no rules.

Whether you're a professional, enthusiast, instructor or student, you're sure to enjoy the inspiration and information this book provides. With dozens of innovative techniques, you're sure to find your journey in clay taking a new direction.
