Synopsis:
This lushly photographed book takes the reader on a sun-soaked journey to Provence to view the process of creation involved in the crafts of pottery and faience. Accompanied by historical anecdotes, this book goes inside the centuries-old ateliers of Provence to examine the making of pottery and faience from the cultivating of clay and its shaping at the potter's wheel to the kilns, painted decoration and more.
About the Author: Bernard Duplessy, a longtime lover of Provence, is an expert on the region's history, literature, cuisine, and architecture.

Camille Moirenc is originally from Aix-en-Provence, France, where he has been a photographer for over eleven years. His work focuses on landscapes and natural-light studies. His photographs can be seen in over a dozen published works on the South of France.
