Average Customer Ratings:
In Painted Ceramics, Brenda Pegrum has amassed a wealth of historical and contemporary information, inspiring images, and technical advice. She discusses color and the nature of ceramic pigments applied both with and without a glaze, describing traditional ways of painting imagery and looking at painting's ability to either enhance or contradict ceramic form. Through the work of ceramic artists past and present, the author shares her enthusiasm for painted ceramics in all their variety and encourages the reader to explore and experiment. Beautifully illustrated in color throughout, Painted Ceramics will be a rich source of inspiration to potters of all levels and invaluable as a reference for collectors of old and modern pottery.

Diverse international look at decorated pottery -
Brenda Pegrum has put together a very interesting collection of historic and contemporary works by artists dealing with surface decoration on pottery. Chapters are done by technique (Painting and Drawing with Slip, Painting in the Glaze, Painting with Lusters and Gold, et al.) and feature some historic background and a number of contemporary artists. All illustrations are color, thankfully, as use of color is very much a feature of the works.
Selection of approaches has been very diverse, and I think high-quality work. Everything from Ann Agee's portraits and paintings in cobalt on porcelain to some very expressive non-objective slip wares by John Pollux. Short paragraph explaining the artists views and general methods (although not a technical treatise)
The diversity of personal style and content provides a lot to discuss. Not a 'how-to" book, but fodder for considering content and decision-making in artist's work. Much to look at and consider. Highly recommended.
