A representative selection of the work of some of the best ceramic artists in the world and an insightful and visually rich book about ceramics and the origins of creativity.

This book contains a representative selection
of the work of some of the best ceramic artists in the world. The 25 featured
artists explain, in their own words, the creative processes behind their work,
what inspires them, the strategies they use to stay fresh and creative, what
distinguishes their work from that of other ceramic artists and how they
achieve this. Through examples of their most personal creations -objects capable of affecting us
emotionally, surprising us and making us think-, the artists reveal
important details about their ceramic creations: how it was made, how it was
shaped, which glaze and engobe coating they used to give the clay color and
texture, the firing temperature of the kiln and the type of kiln chosen. The
reader is provided with an illuminating glimpse into each artist's unique
creative world, where they point out the defining features of their work and
reveal some of the secrets that characterize their artistic processes. Paragons
of exploration, risk and versatility, the extraordinary artists highlighted in
this book rediscover thousand-year-old traditions, reinvent perspectives,
transcend boundaries, tell stories and rebel from conventional expectations,
creating in the process an exhilarating space where art, clay, water, air and
fire meet and, ultimately, inspire.
