“Acero, a sculptor with a wonderfully naïve perspective and attitude, spends time with beginners in eradicating much of the jargon and mystique surrounding ceramics. Every example is supported with excellent large-size color photographs. Every project is imbued with a sense of creative joy....An extensive gallery showcases some of the best works from 104 artisans worldwide.” —Booklist.
