Ceramic Masterpieces
If you haven't read this book...It is fantastic. It is an analysis of how a handful of Ceramic Masterpieces were made, including forming, glazing and firing techniques. But it has other sections which talk about all aspects of the pottery process. Fantastic!
i'll try to find it. But in Poland it will be difficult :)
ReplyDeleteThey might have inter-library loan?
ReplyDeleteI agree, a great book!
ReplyDeleteJust have to agree -- what a great book. I would read pretty much anything written by Pamela Vandiver.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty open-ended, but I'll bite -- here are two:
ReplyDeletePottery Analysis by Prudence Rice -- an archaeological/anthropological perspective, comprehensive in scope. Almost 25 years old but still relevant and (for me) thought-provoking.
Ceramics from Islamic Lands by Oliver Watson -- amazing photographs and information. I especially liked the chapter on fakes and restorations (written by someone else -- don't have the book to see the author's name).
Would love other people's book recommendations!
