Publisher's Note The first and only how-to book on studio architectural ceramics It happens to all potters. After a thousand teapots and a million mugs, they begin to get restless. They itch to build something bigger. Say, a doorway...or a fireplace...or Carnegie Hall. We can't help with Carnegie (by the time you're decorating an entire building, you're into industrial ceramics, and you're a real architect), but we can show studio potters how to create and install large-scale ceramic pieces -- sinks, murals, window surrounds, groups of relief tiles to enliven a living room wall or a garage door. Following the pattern of other Lark Ceramics Books, this latest entry combines practical how-to information with a full-color survey of the best ceramicists working today. After explaining the basics of building, decorating, sectioning, firing, and installing, author Peter King takes the reader step by step through four projects: a sink, a door surround, a countertop, and a fireplace. All projects include color how-to photos and detailed, easy-to-follow directions. A gallery brimming with works from an international ceramic community illustrates the diversity and creative potential of contemporary architectural ceramics.
