5.0 out of 5 stars
Loved this book, March 31, 2011
This review is from: Zen And The Art Of Pottery (Paperback)
I enjoyed all of Kenneth Beittel's ideas in Zen and the Art of Pottery. What was especially interesting was when he mentioned working with the group of students at the kiln site. He emphasized that it was important working together in harmony during the glazing and firing. It has been a while since I have read this book, but it seemed like the kiln site was in the northeast U.S.
All the Japanese ideas are very inspiring, and we can learn much from these philosophies in applying them to creating art and life.

I'll just refer you to a review in Pottery Making Illustrated: http://www.potterymaking.org/zen.html
sounds like the book would be especially useful for people who are studying pottery in japan and need an explanation for all the strange new tools and so on.
