●内容简介——

从粘土到窑炉，以及其间的所有技术，本书是对超过 45 位陶瓷艺术家的技术和工艺的探索。

土和火是制作陶瓷制品的两大元素。两者缺一不可，它们只是简单的组成部分；两者结合在一起，既能创造出实用物品，也能创造出艺术品。既是入门读物，也是灵感之源，探讨了超过 45 位陶瓷艺术家的技术、实践和工具。

这些艺术家创作的陶瓷作品风格各异、媒介多样，从柴烧和精细瓷器、雕塑花瓶、日用杯、碗和盘子到珠宝和壁饰，应有尽有。虽然创作方法各不相同，但总体感觉是，艺术家们用泥土和火来制作他们的作品，他们才是最终的大师。当他们认为自己掌握了一样东西时，粘土、釉料和热量又会教会他们另一样东西。永远有更多的东西需要学习。简单地说，使用粘土是一种谦卑。

由凯莉·约翰逊和蒂芙尼·约翰逊撰写和编译，捕捉了陶瓷的各种美感和实用性，展示了粘土不仅能深入你的指甲，还能深入你的皮肤。

From clay to kiln and all the techniques in-between, this book is an exploration into the techniques and processes of over forty-five working ceramicists.

Earth and fire represent the two elements that produce a ceramic object. Without the other they are simply components; together they create both practical objects and pieces of art. Working as both primer and inspiration, Earth & Fire explores the techniques, practices and tools of over forty-five working ceramicists.

Creating everything from wood-fired and fine porcelain wares; sculptured vases; everyday cups, bowls, and plates; to jewelry and wall pieces, these artists work in a wide range of styles and mediums to create their ceramics. Although the methods vary, the overall sentiment is that the earth and fire that the artists use to make their objects are the ultimate masters. Just when they think they know one thing, the clay, glaze and heat will teach them another. There will always be more to learn. Working with clay is, quite simply, humbling.

Written and compiled by Kylie Johnson and Tiffany Johnson, Earth & Fire captures the diverse beauty and utility of ceramics, demonstrating that clay doesn’t just get under your fingernails: it gets under your skin.
