"Raised in Clay" is a remarkable portrait of pottery making in the
South, one of the oldest and richest craft traditions in America.
Focusing on more than thirty potters in North Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, and Kentucky, Nancy Sweezy tells how
families preserve and practice the traditional art of pottery
making today.
First published in 1984, Sweezy's book documents the last
generation of potters to have direct contact with preindustrial
pottery traditions. It portrays the personalities of the potters,
treating this aspect as carefully as the traditions themselves, and
discusses various types of wheels, glazes, and kilns and each
potter's specialty pieces. Photographs and line drawings showing
potters, their potteries and equipment, examples of finished work,
and step-by-step works in progress enhance the text. Sweezy's
introductory chapter provides a superb history of southern pottery
making. For this edition, she has added a new afterword on recent
changes in the potting scene.
