Design and Create Contemporary Tableware

Design and Create Contemporary Tableware is a resource for both beginners and advanced ceramicists who want to create practical and attractive tableware collections. Linda Bloomfield and Sue Pryke have created a richly illustrated guide to the design and manufacture of contemporary tableware, featuring inspiring works by leading designers. Starting from design principles, through appropriate construction techniques, to decorations and finishing, experienced ceramicists explain the process of creating their designs. Emphasizing the importance of inspiration and consistency in design, they provide detailed instructions on the main creation methods. They also offer advice on using different materials and combining clay with other materials, including wood, metal, textiles and plastics.
