The New Ceramics: Additions to Clay Bodies by Kathleen Standen

The New Ceramics: Additions to Clay Bodies by Kathleen Standen

A comprehensive introduction to the use of additions in clay bodies, from stones and glass to fibre, metals and colour.

Clay body additions can introduce remarkable new forms and textures in ceramic work. With an emphasis on creativity and experimentation, ceramicist Kathleen Standen advises you on a range of possible effects, and profiles the extraordinary work of contemporary makers using additions in their practice.

Beginning with an introduction to collecting local clay and making your own clay bodies, the book moves on to cover the array of additions being used by artists today, from hard materials like stones, glass and rust, to combustible matter and fibre, metals including wire and mesh, and colour in various forms. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with both unique making methods and the beautiful finished works of ceramic artists from around the world.
