Michael Cardew was a great potter, and he exerted a formative influence on the development of twentieth-century pottery. He was also an outstanding thinker and teacher who contributed much of interest to the philosophy of his craft. When he died in 1983 he left behind him the unfinished manuscript of his autobiography, in which he records his progress as a potter and the development of his philosophy, to his middle years.
