"This book is about options, ideas, and the use of tools. It is probably
the most personal of my books, since the ceramic surface and its variations and
meanings have been a particular passion since I was a teenager, some 50 years
ago. It is largely the approach to the ceramic surface that determines the ultimate
personality of the work that is done."—Robin Hopper
Professional studio potter and author Robin Hopper's love for the ceramic surface
has manifested itself in a comprehensive and insightful examination of the processes
involved in Making Marks. Starting with the fundamentals, Hopper explores
in great detail the following surface techniques:
Plastic and Liquid Clay Processes
Glaze Processes
Pigment Processes
Firing and Post-Firing Processes
More than 300 photos of both contemporary and historical pieces show the surface
finishing techniques on completed pieces. |
