A representative selection of work by some of the best ceramic artists and an insightful and visually enriching book about ceramics and the origins of creativity.

This book brings together a representative selection of the work of some of the world's finest ceramic artists. The 25 featured artists explain, in their own words, the creative processes behind their work: what inspires them, what strategies they use to stay fresh and creative, what distinguishes their work from that of other ceramicists and how they achieve that uniqueness.

Through examples of their most personal creations-objects that can move us, surprise us and make us reflect-the artists reveal key details about their pieces: how they were made and moulded, what glazes and engobes they used to give colour and texture to the clay, the firing temperature and the type of kiln chosen.

Ceramic Artists on Creative Processes (How Ideas are Born)

The reader gets a revealing insight into the unique creative world of each artist, highlighting the defining characteristics of their work and revealing some of the secrets of their artistic processes.

Exemplifying exploration, risk-taking and versatility, the extraordinary artists featured in this book rediscover age-old traditions, reinvent perspectives, transcend boundaries, tell stories and challenge conventional expectations, creating a vibrant space where art, clay, water, air and fire meet and ultimately inspire.
