Description
A Potter's Book by Bernard Leach is a seminal work that explores the ancient traditions of pottery-making. First published to collect and preserve workshop techniques from China's Sung dynasty, this book has become an essential guide for potters seeking unity, spontaneity, and simplicity in their craft.
Leach's expertise, gained through his time in Japan and collaborations with master potter Shoji Hamada, shines through in this comprehensive guide. It covers the basics of setting up a workshop, adapting pigment and glaze recipes, and designing custom kilns, as well as showcasing four distinct pottery styles: Japanese raku, English slipware, stoneware, and oriental porcelain.
This book offers a fascinating look at the interplay between Eastern and Western art, making it an invaluable resource for potters looking to expand their skills and knowledge.
