The Fascination of Pottery contains many useful details and clear illustrations for anyone who wants to get started with the art of ceramics. The book takes you step-by-step through each stage of the process: building, painting, glazing, and firing of thrown, hand-built, cast, and molded pottery. Tony Birks’ interest in sophisticated design and experimentation with glazes makes the book an indispensable reference work for experienced potters. Many color images give the opportunity to look over the shoulder of master potters such as John Leach, Gabriele Koch, Mary Wondrausch and Jane Waller as they demonstrate their skills. The presentation of excellent ceramic creations throughout the book offers an exciting overview of the cutting-edge ceramics of the 20th century.
