THE DEFINITIVE VOLUME ON THIS BELOVED ART FORM

Ceramicists have been plying their art and craft for thousands of years, and never more prolifically than today. First published in the US in 2011, The Ceramics Bible is the most comprehensive and up-to-date volume on the subject.

Brimming with more than 700 full-colour photos and illustrations, this is the new definitive guide for serious ceramics practitioners. Inside are step-by-step instructions on moulding, firing, and glazing techniques, generously accompanied by detailed photographs. Also included are beautiful examples of contemporary work, plus plenty of historical information, artist profiles, troubleshooting tips, and an extensive resource section. Perfect for students, artists, and collectors, this is a tremendously valuable addition to the vibrant world of ceramics.

  • AN EVERGREEN ART FORM: Ceramics and pottery never go out of style โ€“ in fact, these art forms continue to grow in popularity year after year. Whether you're a seasoned ceramicist searching for a reliable reference volume, or a new artist working your way through beginner techniques, this book is one you'll return to again and again.
  • NEW AND IMPROVED: From social media marketing to 3D clay printing, the topics covered in this edition capture the technological and social changes that have shaped the practices and products of working ceramics artists.
  • MORE THAN A HANDBOOK: With a plethora of gorgeous full-colour photographs โ€“ including profiles of contemporary ceramics artists and examples of their work โ€“ The Ceramics Bible is both beautiful to behold and easy to use. This book will be equally at home on a living room coffee table as it is in the workshop.
