California Pottery
by Bill Stern
Pottery was for the patio, porcelain for the dinner table until the kilns of California began mass producing and distributing imaginative, brightly colored tableware in the late 1920s. Today, the inventive forms and playful shapes of California pottery make it a much sought after and highly prized collectible. Published to coincide with an exhibition at SF MOMA, CALIFORNIA POTTERY is the ultimate guide to the cultural forces and talented designers that shaped this movement. Their work includes not only the dishware we have come to associate with California, but also garden and agricultural pottery and iconic decorative tiles. Each piece reflects the flavor of the times from the sober Arts and Crafts style of the '20s right through to the aerodynamic Modernist styles of the '50s. With beautiful photographs featuring hundreds of unique pieces, CALIFORNIA POTTERY: FROM MISSIONS TO MODERNISM is an exquisite gallery showcasing the beauty and originality of California pottery.
The Penland Book of Ceramics
by Penland
Lark Books, the leading publisher of fine books on ceramics, the sewing arts, and papermaking, and Penland School of Crafts, the renowned institution of craft instruction, have created a series of beautiful and outstanding books that offer the artisan the wisdom of the finest instructors in each field. 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!
