Over the last decade the narrowing of the gulf that traditionally
existed between the realms of fine art and craft has resulted in a
shift in perception of what ceramics can be and can mean. All areas
of ceramic practice have been revitalized as a result the creative
possibilities that artists, lured by the plastic and tactile
qualities of clay, have brought with them into ceramics have
influenced ceramists of all backgrounds. Analyzing work from the
last ten years, this book covers every aspect of contemporary
ceramic practice and includes work of all sizes from a few inches
to large-scale installations. It is organized into five main
chapters: Beyond Utility original yet functional ceramics Defining
Space wheel-thrown shapes, slip-cast forms, and hand-built
structures Mind the Gap sculptural work from precise and mechanical
to freely modeled forms A Sense of Space installations, both
site-specific and environmental The Line of Beauty collaborations
between art and industry that result from advances in technology
Contemporary Ceramics also includes biographies of the featured
ceramists and a directory of museums and galleries.
