New Wave Clay: Ceramic Design, Art and Architecture

Throughout the twentieth century, ceramics was broadly divided into two sectors.
Studio pottery, which was a reaction against the mass-made
wares of the industrial
revolution, and fine art by contemporary artists, who just happened to
use clay in their practice but rejected many of its traditional codes of practice.
The unprecedented surge in popularity of ceramics in the last five years has
helped forge a new type of potter: the ceramic designer. Part-craftsman,
part designer,
they bridge ceramic craft, collectable design, and fine art. These ceramicists
include product designers who use clay as a means of creative expression,
and classically trained potters who create design-led
pieces, in addition to interior
decorators, illustrators, and graphic designers.
Their collective output includes furniture, decorative objects, murals, and
vessels: not art, not craft, but design. The ambition of the book is to show the diversity
of this area of creative production and the way in which history, craft,
technology, and design are all intersecting in the present day, creating a new type
of designerâ€•and
a new type of ceramicist.
The book is divided into four thematic chapters and accompanied by written
contributions on the subject from designers, decorators, and collectors.
