Keywords:
Pots have existed across the world and in different cultures for thousands of years. This volume explores how contemporary makers use the ancient language of the pot to convey contemporary ideas, from the sculptural and painterly to the ecological and satirical. This beautifully produced book is a visually rich and critically in-depth focus on the work of twenty-four potters. A companion volume to Contemporary British Ceramics: Beneath the Surface, it reveals how pots can be extraordinarily powerful forms of expression.

Recenzijas

This is a provocative book prompting philosophical and psychological reflection on the potential of clay to shape and be shaped, to give shape to thought, experience and emotion. I would strongly recommend this as a book to be read, re-read, discussed and debated. -- Jackie Harrop, Dacorum & Chiltern Potters Guild Newsletter * Dacorum & Chiltern Potters Guild Newsletter * This book takes on the debate around what makes ceramics an art form and how it has developed. The vessel, it seems, is a contentious word in ceramics. The book has noted, debates surrounding the validity of the term reveal tensions about the relative value of the pot, the vessel and the object, and the status between the useful and the useless in the art world. The debate as to whether ceramics should be regarded as art or craft . A very thoughtful read. -- Paul Bailey, Emerging Potters Magazine Oct-Dec 23 * Emerging Potters Magazine Oct-Dec 23 *
