About the Author:
The son of a Naval Officer, Don Davis spent is childhood in various locations, including Florida, Italy, Virginia, California, and Hawaii. He completed his MFA in Graduate Studies in Ceramics at Rhode Island School of Design in 1974. He has spent the majority of his career (1976-2001) as a full-time studio potter in Asheville, North Carolina. He served as the initial director of Odyssey Center for the Ceramic Arts in Asheville from 1994 to 1995 and as a university professor of art from 1999 to 2015. His work is included in the collections of Rhode Island School of Design; The Asheville Art Museum; The International Museum of Ceramics in Alfred, New York; The Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Shirakawa Public Hall in Japan.
From Booklist:
For years, ceramics instruction was considered best accomplished in a studio environment, supplemented by tomes on various specialty techniques, such as glazes. And for years, publishers and authors followed that unwritten law, producing texts that acted as gallery showcases and reference handbooks. No longer. North Carolina ceramicist Davis has written one of the first step-by-step illustrated introductions to wheel-thrown pottery, highlighted by 11 projects ranging in complexity from a simple spoon vase to a double-walled bowl. Nor is his the sole technique portrayed; he invites other professionals to share the limelight. Each design includes notes on surface treatment and firing, possible problems and solutions, and a colorful gallery of similar ceramics from artists across the country. Prefatory chapters feature essential tools and materials, an overview of surface treatments, and a section on "beginning to throw." Barbara Jacobs
