Featured Art Books
500 Animals in Clay
Contemporary Expressions of the Animal Form
No other volume has ever presented such a diverse and captivating collection of contemporary animal-themed ceramics. This magnificent gallery includes pieces from an international group of artists; the beautifully crafted works range from the representational to the abstract, from artful realism to provocative surrealism (including animal-human hybrids). Ann Marais' image of a waterfowl painted onto a porcelain dish has a restrained, Asian quality. Sharkus' painted and smoke-fired stoneware turtle could easily be mistaken for the living creature.
Warm Glass
A Complete Guide to Kiln-forming Techniques - Fusing, Slumping, Casting
An authoritative, extensively illustrated guide to making glass objects in a kiln. Provides detailed information on the history and traditional techniques of using a kiln in glasswork, along with instructions and examples designed to help you understand all the steps each technique requires.
500 Figures in Clay
Ceramic Artists Celebrate the Humane Form
Presents some of the best figurative studies created by more than 250 contemporary ceramists from around the world, spanning a multitude of artistic styles, from realistic to abstract, representational to surreal, and starkly minimalist to flamboyantly narrative.
