Description

This lushly photographed book takes the reader on a sun-soaked journey to Provence to view the process of creation involved in the crafts of pottery and faience. Accompanied by historical anecdotes, this book goes inside the centuries-old ateliers of Provence to examine the making of pottery and faience from the cultivating of clay and its shaping at the potter's wheel to the kilns, painted decoration and more.
