The Potters' View of Canada
This is the first book to be devoted exclusively to potters' view of Canada. Interest in nineteenth-century earthenware decorated with Canadian scenes has grown enormously in recent years. These ceramic pictures have caught the attention of museums and private collectors alike and have become notable features of the rapidly widening interest in Canadiana.
Joe Fafard
Few contemporary artists have worked in the sheer variety of styles that Joe Fafard has perfected -- and won such acclaim for their efforts.

Powning has exhibited his clay, glass and bronze works in over 60 galleries in the Canada, the US, Germany, Scandinavia, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China and ...
