Average Customer Ratings:
What motivates and inspires the finest porcelain artists working today? Forty internationally celebrated masters reveal their secrets, explaining just how they work with this incredibly demanding ceramic material, prized for its pristine beauty. Pure white and wonderfully delicate, porcelain is what clay potters usually graduate to only after years of honing their skills. This diverse collection showcases the results of that dedication, and the versatility is simply breathtaking: Claire Curneen presents highly emotive, tactile figurative forms. Edmund de Waal’s elegant celadon site-specific vessel installations are renowned for their meditative presence. Harlan House’s finely carved vessels take inspiration from nature's organic forms, while Bodil Manz's eggshell porcelain cylinders are so translucent that you can sometimes discern light and shadow passing through the walls of his pots.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Busywork -
The entire project looks, reads and feels like busywork designed to keep a bunch of people busy without anything to really say and nothing new to offer except to say "There - I've finished that task. Now what else can I do to look busy?" And I say this even being represented in the book. Some or most say that it counts just to have your work seen, good or bad. I disagree.

A Very Wonderfilled book -
I have to say,I am in love with lark 500 books,and this publication is no exception!
Porcelain is a tricky clay body to work with.I have tried it,and managed it,but still have not the capacity or patience for shrinkage,coloration,or for the historical fact that at one time, the clay was made from ground bones of the deseased!- even though some of my own stuff is in permanent gallery collections,according to what I have seen in this book,I am still an amateur. The wide variety of styles,colorations and applications of techniques held are more than most people can absorb in a single viewing. It's a volume that will last me,for years to come.
Very,very,highly recommended.If you want a library of the best of the best,to your personal tastes,this is a book to have and own.
