This is one of the few books in the ceramics field which owns the classification of essential reading.
Covering Mr Cardew's history as an artist craftsman and his unique approach to international ceramics, with particular reference to working with so-called "primitive" peoples.
Although sometimes a dense read, it is packed with information, and is consequently one of those books you find yourself dipping into whenever you have a problem to solve.
