Book Description
Excerpt from The Potter's Craft: A Practical Guide for the Studio and Workshop What then, are not manufactured products as now put forth a menace to the art life of the nation? Are not the people being educated in the use of and be lief in machine-made ornament and meretricious dis play? Perhaps so, but no good purpose will be served by a ruthless condemnation of these things. Art ap preciation is a most subtle thing and no one may dictate to his neighbor as to what he should or should not admire. It took time for the public to understand and patronize the product of the machine even though the price was favorable. It will take time for an appreciation of craftsmanship to influence the land but this consummation will most assuredly come.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Potter's Craft: A Practical Guide for the Studio and Workshop This Book is the outcome of an experience extending over a period of thirty-six years. Twenty years ago it would have been impossible for the science of ceramics was not then born. Ten years ago it would have been wasted for the Artist-potter in America had not arrived but now the individual workers are many and the science is well established. Written teaching must be imperfect, but I have endeavored to set down the exact methods by which my students are taught, in the hope that those who cannot secure personal instruction may read and understand. As far as possible didactic statements have been avoided and the attempt has been made to lead every student to experiment and to think for himself. In other words, I have tried to erect sign-posts and occasional warnings rather than to remove all obstacles from the road.
