Average Customer Ratings:
It’s simply breathtaking: no other volume has ever presented such a diverse and captivating collection of contemporary animal-themed ceramics. Juried by distinguished artist and educator Joe Bova, 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, reinforced by a simple palette of black on white. Laurie Sharkus’ painted and smoke-fired stoneware turtle could easily be mistaken for the living creature. Bova provides astute and illuminating commentary overall, while selected artists’ notes shed light on how and why they choose to interpret this challenging subject.

, simply quality bar stools
Animals and Clay - a menagerie for potters and sculptors -
This a terrific book with good quality photographs of the pieces and some interesting information on clay, temperatures,glazes etc. There are also some brief reflective comments from the artists. Good value and a great present for ceramists and sculptors who are into careful observation and modeling, quirky anthropomorphism or reinterpreting earlier representations from many different cultural perspectives.
a lovely book -
More a coffee table book than a how-to, this offers inspiration and inspires admiration. It does not tell you how to make 500 things, however.
500 Animals in Clay - 
Really comprehensive collection of clay animals. This will be of great benefit to my classes. Inspirational and fun!! Certainly stimulates the imagination.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
An inspiration for clay artists -
I love this book and use it often for inspiration. This is actually my second copy, the first got damaged and I couldn't be without it. Highly recommended for it's wide range of treatments in both designs and glazes.
