The first book to provide a comprehensive overview of British pottery, The Potters Art traces this remarkable history from the rudimentary pots of the Middle Ages to the intellectually ambitious art of todays studio potters. Beginning with the peasant potter, Garth Clark moves on to describe the development of style and fashion under Josiah Wedgwood. He also examines the work of the artist-potters William De Morgan and the Martin brothers, and the studio potters Bernard Leach and Lucie Rie. Focusing particularly on the human angle, the author brings the potters to life by describing their working conditions, lifestyles and characters. For all collectors and potters, this is an important survey which sheds new light on the history of British pottery
