This title is conceived by Matthias Ostermann as a workshop in print, guiding
the reader progressively through some of the conceptual, material, and technical
concerns that inform this very demanding medium. The New Maiolica opens
with a Foreward by Alan Caiger-Smith and a brief history of tin glaze. Following
this, important aesthetic and conceptual considerations are broached that, in
turn, are the necessary precursors to the use of materials in the making process.
Colour theory is followed by a step-by-step approach to the creation of an individual
colour palette, and this precedes an exploration of brushwork, and many specifically
illustrated surface-decoration techniques. The work of over 50 international ceramists
are shown, giving evidence to the great variety of contemporary expression in
tin glaze. To conclude, there is an examination of the problems that can occur
in maiolica production, and suggested solutions, followed by a list of recommended
reading. This book specifically addresses the practice of tin glaze, but can also
be a source book for any ceramist attracted to color and painting. |
