This book highlights the keen perspective of the vernacular artist.
Classic North Carolina stoneware pots - with their rich textures,
monochromatic glazes, and minimal decoration - belong to one of
America's most revered stoneware pottery traditions. In a lavishly
illustrated celebration of that tradition, Mark Hewitt and Nancy
Sweezy trace the history of North Carolina pottery from the
nineteenth century to the present day. They demonstrate the
intriguing historic and aesthetic relationships that link pots
produced in North Carolina to pottery traditions in Europe and
Asia, in New England, and in the neighboring state of South
Carolina. With hundreds of color photographs highlighting the
shapes and surfaces of carefully selected pots, ""The Potter's
Eye"" honors the keen focus vernacular potters bring to their
materials, tools, techniques, and history. It is an evocative guide
for anyone interested in the art of North Carolina pottery and the
aesthetic majesty of this resilient and long-standing tradition.
