COLOR CEMENT HANDICRAFT by PEDRO J. LEMOS. An extensively
illustrated book originally published in 1922. FOREWORD: IT IS
EVIDENT to the most casual observer that the use oi -* cement and
concrete has developed into a most important building material
undoubtedly the most important of the age. Industrial and
vocational educators have recognized this importance and thousands
of school children have received instruction in its use and
application to objects of utility. Its use has been the subject of
many books, and the reason for the issuing of this book is to
present in printed form the use of color cement for the decoration
or surface enrichment of cement and concrete objects. We heretofore
have thought of cement in terms of rough surfaces and crude
retaining walls, little thinking that beautiful patterns and
textures are possible with proper combinations of color with
cement, presenting possi bilities for producing art tiles, pottery,
and decorations of a high art quality. After a study some years ago
of the various forms of producing clay pottery and its possible
relation to school arts and industrial education, the handicap of
necessary firing to give permanency loomed large against its
general adaptation by schools. This resulted in considerable
research and experimenting by the authors with cement and the use
of color in the endeavor to parallel in some measure each of the
methods employed in the making of fired tiles and pottery.
