The Best of Pottery, Volume 2

Rating:
Summary: Good to the Last Drop
Review: I love this book as much as the last one. Like the first volume, The Best of Pottery Volume 2 presents a wonderful variety of works by current artists and includes with each photograph little sum ups on their techniques and glazing methods. The book is divided into the categories of Earthenware, Porcelain, and Stoneware. The majority of the book is pictures because it discloses the selected pieces of a juried contest based on slides. The pictures are fully colored, displaying in vivid detail each piece and their unique personalities. The picture format takes a step forward from the first book by taking every vessel (not a selected half) out of their original slide picture, enlarging them to show detail, and placing them carefully on the page. This format allows the pottery to have their own breathing space on the page without cluttering it with backgrounds. This book is perfect for students and professionals because it inspires and challenges your own ideas. The Best of Pottery Volume 2 is an excellent way to see three-dimensional art pieces in a two-dimensional format.
