Ceramics Reader

<i>The Ceramics Reader</i> is an impressive editorial collection of essays and text extracts covering every discipline within ceramics past and present. Tackling such fundamental questions as why are ceramics important? the book also considers the field from a range of perspectives - as a cultural activity or metaphor as a vehicle for propaganda within industry and museums and most recently as part of the 'expanded field' as a fine art medium and hub for ideas. Newly commissioned material features prominently alongside existing scholarship to ensure an international and truly comprehensive look at ceramics.
