Smoke firing is an ancient firing method, used to fire raw clay into durable ceramic and also to decorate it with smoke designs. Its technological simplicity not only lends itself to endless interpretations but also encourages artistic creativity through improvisation and experimentation. Smoke Firing is a thorough survey of the varied work and approaches of contemporary artists today, showing recent innovative developments. Dynamic illustrations feature the work of the 29 artists represented (including our very own Ann Marais), from 17 countries, making it a truly international focus on smoke firing. 176 pages bound in hardcover make this book a wonderful gift either to yourself or your loved ones.
