POTTERY IN THE MAKING – History – Smithsonian Inst. (1997) POTTERY IN THE MAKING – Ceramic Traditions – edited by Ian Freestone & David Gaimster © 1997 Smithsonian Institute.  Softcover book / 240 pages. Starting with the basic question “What is Pottery?” this insightful book investigates ceramic production throughout the world over the past 12,000 years.  Drawing on the collections of the British Museum, the contributors examine more than 30 pottery traditions, including those of ancient Egypt.  Mesopotamia, prehistoric Japan, pre-Hispanic Peru, classical Greece, Ming China & medieval & Renaissance Europe, as well as the ceramics of contemporary Africa & India. With an emphasis on the technological aspects of pottery production, POTTERY IN THE MAKING also addresses the broader environmental, political & cultural contexts in which the potters worked.  Discussing the role of tradition in modern studio pottery, this comprehensive volume illuminates the continuing link between potters past & present. Excellent condition.
