About this title

Synopsis

The authors show, in practical detail, how non-professionals can reproduce some of their designs and effects for patterned ceramic ware. They combine a selection of decorative themes and step-by-step instruction.

From Library Journal

English artists specializing in custom-made decorative ceramics for the home, the author present dishes, tiles, and other works that are bright and colorful, making use of such traditional techniques as sponging and sgraffito to create a modern "pop" style of animal and flower designs. Here they discuss molding, glazing, and firing in some detail, but their primary emphasis is on decorating techniques. The color illustrations, many of which show finished pieces in room settings in the authors' French cottage, are excellent. This is a good source of ideas for persons who decorate ceramic ware as a hobby as well as for those who are studio artists. Recommended for public library larger craft collections and other decorative arts collections.?Constance Ashmore Fairchild, formerly with Univ. of Illinois Lib., Urbana-Champaign
