This is the first book of its kind; an exhaustive study of that particular magic the use of colour oxides and stains in the clay body can bring to throwing, pinching, coiling, inlay, lamination, millefiori and sculpture. Fifty artists from Europe and the USA are profiled, with details of their working methods, firing techniques and sources of inspiration. This ground-breaking book will be an invaluable guide for students who wish to take advantage of the staggering range of colour stains now available for use. AUTHOR: Jane Waller has been making Millefiori and Raku ceramics since the seventies. After training at Oxfordshire Art College she went on to do a BA in Sculpture at Hornsey Art College and then an MAS in Ceramics at the Royal College of Art. She divides her time between writing and ceramics, and has written novels for children,as well as non-fiction works on ceramics, fashion and social history. 157 colour photos
