Working as both primer and inspiration, Earth and Fire is an introduction to the techniques, practices and tools as told by an experienced potter and over forty-five working ceramicists. Career potters who work diligently at their craft daily and make a living from their work, as well as those who turn to clay for relaxation and a hobby. With a focus on techniques and processes, Earth and Fire captures the diversity of ceramics and how clay doesn't just get under your fingernails; it gets under your skin.
