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! |
