Architectural Ceramics for the Studio Potter
From a respected teacher in his field comes the first and only how-to book on the subject. Sample projects in color: a press-molded door surround, a carved-relief countertop, a dimensional fireplace, plus handbuilt and thrown sinks and pedestals. “Well designed and visually stimulating. Peter King writes like a good teacher.”—Clay Times.

Clay
More than a third of the houses in the world are made of clay. Clay vessels were instrumental in the invention of cooking, wine and beer making, and international trade. Our toilets are made of clay. The first spark plugs were thrown on the potter’s wheel. Clay has played a vital role in the health and beauty fields. Indeed, this humble material was key to many advances in civilization, including the development of agriculture and the invention of baking, architecture, religion, and even the space program. In Clay, Suzanne Staubach takes a lively look at the startling history of the mud beneath our feet. Told with verve and erudition, this story will ensure you won’t see the world around you in quite the same way after reading the book.
Hands in Clay
As a window to a lifetime of experiment and creative expression in clay, as a glimpse into the wellsprings of inspiration, and as a story of humanity, Hands in Clay offers a compelling introduction to ceramics.
Friendship Forged in Fire: British Ceramics in America
The essays in this book look at the development of British Ceramics and their collection by American collectors. The historic 'special relationship' between Great Britain and the United States spans decades and is deeply valued on both sides of the 'pond.' Emerging from the alliances forged in the world wars in the first half of 20th century, both British and American societies have benefited from the infusion of each other's cultural contributions. Ceramics and ceramic collecting has been no different in this regard. The British ceramic art displayed in this book is largely loaned from the private collections of California connoisseurs. These treasured artifacts testify to the regard and appreciation that American collectors hold for British ceramics. This catalog accompanies the 2013 exhibition by the same name at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, CA.
