Spectacular!
I recently purchased four or five books on ceramics. This was by far my favorite. The beautiful work is inspiring and well presented with clear how to information. He even shows what brushes he uses for each and every stroke.

Disappointing
All of the technique demonstrations are of the author's own work, and with no illustrations of the techniques themselves, only the finished products. It's all pictures of fish. I like fish, but I was hoping for a broader range of examples, color palettes, etc. The book wasn't very inspiring technically or artistically.

Practical reference book,

This review is from: The New Maiolica: Contemporary Approaches to Color and Technique (Hardcover)
While I prefer traditional Italian maiolica to contemporary, this book is still excellent. It is filled with glaze recipes and practical technical information. This book is worth it's purchase price just for it's 8 page Troubleshooting chapter.

Wonderful features on many prominent potters!,
This review is from: The New Maiolica: Contemporary Approaches to Color and Technique (Hardcover)
I found that the artwork is beautifully featured in this book and many of today's finest potters' work can be viewed. In particular, I truly enjoyed Ostermann's feature on up and coming Ontario potter-Richard Mund. His beautifully decorated work makes this book a new favorite for reference, inspiration and knowledge.

Maiolica Magic,

This review is from: The New Maiolica: Contemporary Approaches to Color and Technique (Hardcover)
Very original ideas on the subject. A great teaching on colour and glaze creation. A wealth of good information for those who would like to expand their knowledge on the subject of ceramic decoration. I had borrowed the book previously but had to have my own copy to keep.
