| Contemporary ceramic artists who use the labor intensive, unpredictable process of wood-firing for their art. With over 500 brilliant color photographs, this book highlights the work of 100 innovative ceramic artists who still use the labor intensive, and sometimes unpredictable, process of wood-firing. Throughout the book, artists share several examples of their work, ranging from small pots to monumental installations, as well as their stories about their inspiration, influences, and techniques. The artists also relate how they have adapted various methods of wood-firing to their own needs and environments, using fast-fire, Noborigama, Anagama, and other kilns. Kiln drawings, information about firing logs, clay, glaze and slip formulas, and wood firing resources are also included.The artwork is representative of the diversity of styles, from glazing techniques to the often unique creations based on placement within the various kilns. This book is an essential for all who appreciate or practice ceramic art today. |

“The range of work included is much wider than I was anticipating. While there are many items of domestic ware, there are many sculptural pieces including human and animal forms. Colours obtained also are wider ranging than I was expecting and in some cases brighter than I thought possible.
Significant books on wood-firing are few and far between as can be seen from the length of the bibliography included. This is a certainly a significant addition and a credit to both author and publisher.” - Roger Bell, NPA Newsletter
