The first edition of Functional Pottery has received great acclaim
since it was published in 1986. It is used by potters around the world and in
a great many colleges and universities as required reading. It is a book of
personal development in the design, making, and aesthetics of ceramics objects
for use, based on over 40 years of practical experience.
This new, expanded, full-color edition includes images of work by potters from
around the world working with functional pottery. It also includes a wide range
of illustrations of objects drawn from many of the world's major museums. Not
only is this book the most informative written on the subject of functional
pottery and its design and aesthetics, bt the illustrations of both historical
and contemporary objects put the equivalent of a museum and art gallery at your
fingertips. Full of information and practical tips, it is an invaluable reference
that should be in every potter's studio.
