When he went to West Africa in the 1940s, Michael Cardew found himself 'in a land where the potter's art had been flourishing for centuries without the use of wheels, or kilns, or glazes'. This book grew out of his desire to share all that he had learned from the African pioneers of pottery.

Pioneer Pottery is a superbly presented and classic work enhanced with excellent black/white illustrations and photography, and a new introduction by the author's son. An extremely solid reference to the art of pottery. --Midwest Book Review, The Bookwatch, Aug. 2002

Strongly recommended reading for students of the art,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pioneer Pottery (Hardcover)
First published 33 years ago by Michael Cardew, a respected expert in British ceramics, Pioneer Pottery is a superbly presented and classic work enhanced with excellent black/white illustrations and photography (including a new color section of previously unshown works), and a new introduction by the author's son. An extremely solid reference to the art of pottery, from the chemical composition of pottery clay to sculpting, firing, and painting, Pioneer Pottery is a first-rate guide and is strongly recommended reading for students of the art, history, and joy of pottery.
