5.0 out of 5 starsFABULOUS!
By T. Humphries on August 23, 1998
Format: Paperback
this book is an archival wonder. the author brings us into intimate contact with the potters of a generation past. production, studio, and industrial potters alike should read and absorb the severe trials these men(and women)had to go through to make a living during a time when living wasn`t gauranteed. details such as kiln construction workshop layout and techniques make this book intresting for anyone involved in the pottery field. give it ten stars!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Southern Pottery Reference
By James R. Henderson on March 31, 2009
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book for students and collectors of Southern pottery. Nancy Sweezy is a potter who apprenticed at Jugtown; her knowledge of the techniques and details of "turning and burning" make "Raised In Clay" a valuable contribution to the literature. This book contains fewer pictures of the pottery itself, and more pictures and descriptions of the potters, their shops, and their equipment and tools. It is illustrated with numerous excellent line drawings in addition to vintage photographs. "Raised In Clay" is a primary resource for anyone wanting to learn about traditional Southern pottery.

5.0 out of 5 starsInteresting people and technology
By Scrupulous Researcher on November 9, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Sweezy's insider information on the southern potters makes this book come alive. I was fascinated by the people, as well as their generations-old techniques for making wheel-thrown pottery. Lots of detail on kiln and wheel construction. I was inspired to purchase this book after seeing an exhibit at the folk art museum in Santa Fe, NM. It was a perfect combination.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful book
By Patricia Smith on September 3, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
We live in SE Tennessee and my husband is starting out in pottery. He loved that the book focused on real potters and their stories. It also has a great overview of the history of Southern Pottery, their kiln techniques, and development of new ideas. It used the potters' own words, which made a great impact! Love this book!

For anyone who has any interest in pottery this is a "must read" and this also incudes whoever may have an interest in US History.
