Author: Mary White
Imposing letters onto ceramics started as an ancient form of communication and has gradually evolved into an art form in its own right. In Lettering on Ceramics, author Mary White shows how this tradition has developed, covering methods of imposing letters on to clay, including stamping, stencils, slip trailing, resist methods, carving and relief work amongst others. She also looks at a number of artists working in this area, showing beautiful examples of their work, and examining their approach and methods of lettering. As well as many beautiful images of ceramics with lettering, there also is a selection of calligraphic alphabets to use for inspiration or to copy.
