Bristol Pottery 1784 - 1972

John Carson is a Londoner who has lived in Weston-super-Mare for most of the past 40 years. In the mid-1980''s, he began collecting earthenwares produced by The Bristol Pottery, which was the factory associated with the name Pountney for much of its long history. As his knowledge of the Pottery increased, he became conscious of the many gaps that existed in the published information available, particularly in regard to the actual wares produced. Consequently, he saw a need for a comprehensive publication covering the whole period from the time creamware succeeded delftware at Temple Back in the late eighteenth century until the Pottery''s last years in Cornwall in the 1970''s. The results of his researches are now brought together in this book.

Potter's Art: A Complete History of Pottery in Britain

The first book to provide a comprehensive overview of Birth pottery, The Potter's Art traces this remarkable history from the rudimentary pots of the Middle Ages to the intellectually ambitious art of today's studio potters. Beginning with the peasant potter, Garth Clark moves on to describe the development of style and fashion under Josiah Wedgwood. He also examines the work of the artists-potters William De Morgan and the Martin brothers, and the studio potters Bernard Leach and Lucie Rie. Focusing particularly on the human angle, the author brings the potters to life by describing their working conditions, lifestyles and characters. For all collectors and potters, this is an important survey which sheds new light on the history of Birth pottery.

Plain and Painted Pottery

This study focuses on a major issue in Near Eastern prehistoric archaeology: the rise of the Halaf culture, ca. 5900-5400 cal. BC. The book presents in a detailed, quantified and lavishly illustrated manner the ceramics excavated by the National Museum of Antiquities Leiden at Tell Sabi Abyad, northern Syria. Tell Sabi Abyad thus far remains the only archaeological site in the Near East where the shift from a Pre-Halaf to an Early Halaf cultural assemblage can be followed within a continuous, meticulously stratified sequence. More than merely a pottery report, the book offers a lively discussion of past and present views on the origins of the Halaf culture. It also places the excavated ceramics in the broader socioeconomic and symbolic context of Late Neolithic societies in northern Syria. Using the concepts of feasting and emulation, the study aims to gain insight in patterns of rapid ceramic innovation and change.

Body of Clay, Soul of Fire

Body of Clay, Soul of Fire will delight art lovers, potters, and collectors, as well as everyone who is interested in Japanese and Benedictine traditions.Richard Bresnahan is a preeminent American potter and an ambassador for the natural environment. Reared on a farm in North Dakota, he graduated from Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, and apprenticed as a potter in Japan. Returning to Saint John's, where he is an artist in residence, he built a massive wood-burning kiln, which, with its innovative flame flues and water channels, dwarfs all other North American kilns. By digging his own clay, using local seeds and hulls as glazing materials, and firing with deadfall, Bresnahan also practices a brand of environmentalism worthy of his Benedictine surroundings.
