Contemporary Ceramics

Analyzing work from the last ten years, this book covers every aspect of contemporary ceramic practice and includes work of all sizes―from a few inches to large‑scale installations. It is organized

into five main chapters:

Beyond Utility: original yet functional ceramics.

Defining Space: wheel‑thrown shapes, slip‑cast forms, and hand‑built structures.

Mind the Gap: sculptural work from precise and mechanical to freely modeled forms.

A Sense of Space: installations, both site‑specific and environmental.

The Line of Beauty: collaborations between art and industry that result from advances in technology.

Contemporary Ceramics also includes biographies of the featured ceramists and a directory of museums and galleries
