It is the only way I have seen it. I can't imagine not wanting your
book in a library. Democracy and Literacy Rocks.

Our local library has had a purge on their considered outdated pottery =3D
books but has not replaced them with anything new. There is an awful gap =
=3D
on the shelves now. I wondered whether anyone on the list could suggest =3D
some titles? I know this subject has come up before but not too =3D
recently. There is also the fact that most of what used to be books are =
=3D
now DVDs. Pros and cons on both sides, one doesn=3DE2=3D80=3D99t know whic=

to take. Most of my potter friends enjoy watching DVDs but use books =3D
more for reference and information though I don=3DE2=3D80=3D99t know that t=
hat =3D
would be true everywhere. What would clayarters views be on books/DVDs?
I see Ceramics Monthly has 2 books by Linda Bloomfield, Advanced =3D
Pottery,Colour in Glazes, which look as though they should be right for =3D
a library, then there is Robin Hopper. I am not sure if Ron and John =3D

I am sure clayart people, especially those who teach, have lots of =3D

I concur on the ekwc Ceramic Process book by Anton Reijnders but it might b=
=3D
e too much for the lay reader. The European Ceramic Workcentre (forgive me =
=3D
if you already know) is an international residency program in the Netherlan=
=3D
ds. They bring ceramic artists and also artists like Anish Kapoor and Tony =
=3D
Cragg and then provide them with the technical help to build what they want=
=3D
in clay. They've taken many of the technical methods they've developed wit=
=3D
h their resident artists and put them in a manual. It's a great place to do=
=3D
a residency.
The Japanese Pottery Handbook is an inexpensive and lovely book with how-to=
=3D
line illustrations.
A great book that's out of print but still available on Amazon is The Histo=

ry of American Ceramics by Elaine Levin.
Good Luck!

All of Robin Hopper's! And Vince Pitelka's Clay, A Studio Handbook, and
John Britt's Complete Guide to High Fire Glazes.
One from the European Ceramic Work Center called The Ceramic Process; a
Manual and Source of Inspiration for Ceramic Art and Design. Fabulous
advanced reference book, expensive but useful.
From Mud to Music by Barry Hall.
And many others.
I wouldn't object to having my Low Firing and Burnishing in a library -
I know it is in some.
DVD's versus books - I find it easier to leaf through a book to find the
information I want, but for students sometimes it is invaluable to see
someone in action, so they both have their uses. Younger people are very
attuned to video.
