Excerpt from Pottery, Vol. 2: A Hand-Book of Practical Pottery for Art Teachers and Students; Decoration of Pottery
This volume is intended to be supplementary to the earlier handbook issued in 1903.
That volume dealt chiefly with the making of shapes, while this is mainly concerned with decora tion.
The illustrations show examples of good work in the different methods described, and among them are included photographs of a few decorators at work, to show convenient arrangements of fittings, etc.
This book is primarily intended for beginners and students, and so may be found, in places, very elementary by those who know more about practical potting. It is mainly based upon teaching given by the author to practical Pottery Classes at the Royal College of Art, and other Schools of Arts and Crafts.
In conclusion I again wish to express my thanks to the officials of the Victoria and Albert Museum for their help in arranging the objects for photo graphing, and for reliable measurements of the ware. I also wish especially to thank Mr. G. H. Palmer for his help in revising the work.
