This is a glorious overview of the human figure as it has appeared on or in ceramic form from prehistoric times up to the present. The human form was one of the earliest images to appear in artwork, and with ceramics it took various forms - sometimes drawn on the surface, sometimes made into the shape of a vessel and sometimes made into a statue. In this book Betty Blandino looks at how artists from all over the world have tackled this subject. The result is a fascinating and beautiful survey of one of the mainstream themes of art history.

This book is a look at coiled pottery with both historical examples and descriptions of the methods of contemporary and ethnic potters who build in this way. It also discusses different approaches to making and decorating, as well as aesthetic qualities of the work. In this colour edition, the author has brought the contemporary section up to date and included many new colour photographs throughout the book. This is the classic book on the subject and it should appeal not only to potters but to anyone interested in the history of art and cultural studies.
