Scandinavia's excellence in design is well known, but her ceramics, which are among her most beautiful products, have been little appreciated. The author of this book has made a thorough study of Scandinavian potters and their craft, and here provides a survey of their creative contribution-from the basic concepts underlying their art form to the unique artistic opportunities in their environment. Familiar styles as well as experimental techniques in pottery are discussed and illustrated here by over two hundred photographs, including eight pages of color. Potters and sculptors-both amateurs and professionals-will find New Design in Ceramics an invaluable source book of form and design in clay. (Publisher’s text)
