This fresh global survey makes sense of a vast and increasingly diverse area of intense creativity. An essential and invaluable analysis of work from the last ten years, the book covers every aspect of contemporary ceramic practice and includes work of all scales - from a few centimetres in size to vast room-sized installations. With over 600 stunning illustrations, and an author unique in his experience as a ceramist, educator, curator and critic, this comprehensive survey will be an indispensable guide for ceramists, students and collectors alike.
With a foreword by Kathleen Jamie.
John Miller builds upon the ecological arguments for saving forests to raise the compelling question of their cultural value, with beautiful illustrations from the British Library's unparalleled collections of books and manuscripts.
