With classes in more than ten media, instruction by only the finest practitioners, and an atmosphere of friendly exchange between artists, Penland is the place for crafters to improve and broaden their skills. People from around the world journey to this unique school and artistic community, located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. Throughout the Penland Book series, the creative excitement of the school comes alive on every page and in every breathtaking project. Here, in the first offering, ceramicists discover technical and inspirational resources from the masters that will carry their art to new levels. Each of the Penland professionals represented specializes in a particular technique or method. Photographs show them working as well as featuring their art. Expressly for this volume, they have written the accompanying essays and chosen pieces by other artists to complement their own. Clara "Kitty" Couch fashions deeply glowing coil-built vessels, Angela Pozo's lively tiled mosaics shimmer with color, and Michael Sherrill builds beautiful sculptural objects that hold layer upon layer of texture. There are others who do mold making and slip casting, majolica, wheel-thrown forms, slab reliefs, and much more. This is one book that will have a permanent place in the studio! The History of American Ceramics 1607 to the Present by Elaine Levin Beginning with the red earthenware made by the potters of Jamestown in 1607 and continuing through objects made by ceramic artists today, this carefully researched and copiously illustrated volume canvases the major developments and practitioners of the art.
