Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"In the context of previous studies of American ceramic traditions, both historic and recent, McGriff makes a substantial contribution to this field of scholarship by offering a fresh way of thinking about handcraft in postmodern America. One of her study's potential strengths [is] as a model to point the way for similar studies in other parts of the country."—John A. Burrison, author of Global Clay: Themes in World Ceramic Traditions

"McGriff breaks important new ground that will enrich the understanding of the creative processes associated with object making [and] enables the reader to better understand how the study of potters working together can be a powerful tool for understanding regions and groups."—C. Kurt Dewhurst, author of Folklife and Museums: Twenty-First Century Perspectives
