In Painted Ceramics, Brenda Pegrum has amassed a wealth of historical and contemporary information, inspiring images, and technical advice. She discusses color and the nature of ceramic pigments applies both with and without a glaze, describing traditional ways of painting imagery and looking at painting's ability to either enhance or contradict ceramic form. Through the work of ceramic artists past and present, the author shares her enthusiasm for painted ceramics in all their variety and encourages the reader to explore and experiment. Beautifully illustrated in color throughout, Painted Ceramics will be a rich source of inspiration to potters of all levels and invaluable as a reference for collectors of old and modern pottery.
