The student of pottery learns how to adapt recipes of pigments and glazes, and designs of kilns, to local conditions. A vivid workshop picture is given of the making of a kiln-load of pots from start to finish, and the positions of the individual or artist-potter in an industrial age is touched upon. This is a book primarily for the hand craftsman and the school, with a strong interest for all lovers of pots and for those who are interested in the culrual relationship of East and West." (dj).
