Clay Animals-an overview July 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

A good assortment of animals in clay but somewhat disappointing in its scope and styles.
Good reproduction, but just misses that elusive "something" to make it a really great book for reference.
Still a good addition to the serious ceramic artist's library.

Great Book June 4, 2008

I love this book! It is a great collection of contemporary ceramic sculpture by outstanding artists. I recommend it for animal lovers, ceramic artists, and appreciators of sculptural ceramic art. This is a great book for inspiration and enjoyment. Just be advised that it does not include projects or techniques. If you are looking for instruction in how to create animal forms in clay, you will not find it here.

As a potter I do not do this type of sculpture and thats why I like this plucky little missive from the far side.Every artist has a few unexplored fantasies leaping into view ,this book does an admirable job of taking you on safari.100 excellently rendered photos from about 250 artists .Originally I did not like the book because compared with the Lark publication 500 Bowls which I bought at the same time and have referenced extensively ,this book gets pulled out occasionally and that brings up why I wrote this review.
I have always confined my reading of ceramics to professional/trade periodicals like Ceramics monthly, and the like.My teachers,mostly academics, in the 70s taught me to do so. With the internet you are free to be more creative with fewer resources.

Fantastic Book! October 18, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I've been wanting to get into ceramics for a while and this book was just the thing to get my creative juices flowing. It has many (500 actually) beautiful pieces to admire, with such a wide array of styles. It's definitely not a "how to" book, with just enough info to get a basic idea of how each piece was created, but the beautiful photographs and variety makes it well worth purchasing.
