The potter's eye : art and tradition in North Carolina pottery

In celebration of the way traditional North Carolina potters look at shape, color, and decoration, this volume honors the keen focus that these potters bring to their materials, tools, techniques, and history. It examines the genesis of NC's stoneware pottery tradition, traces its evolution in the nineteenth century, and looks at its ongoing expression by contemporary artists. Includes interviews with six contemorary NC potters as well as hundreds of breathtaking color photographs that pay close attention to the shapes and surfaces of pots
