Product Description
While porcelain from Swansea has a well-deserved reputation for quality, the enormous and sometimes surprising variety of pottery which has also been produced in Wales is less well-known outside the country. From the coarse red earthenwares characteristic of small family enterprises to fine factory-produced and decorated creamwares which rivalled the best that Staffordshire could offer, this book examines the range and discusses the context for the manufacture of ceramics in Wales. Techniques and methods of production are introduced and illustrations help to establish design trends and influences, along with the problems of identification and dating, so that the reader can begin to understand some of the complexities which make the study of Welsh pottery so interesting. Finally the importance and relevance of ceramic display within the Welsh culture is explored.

Useful and guiding when used with the appropriate age-group
Rating  (4)

I used this book during my teaching practice, with girls aged 11 to 13. Most of the exercises were good to use but I had to adapt others to fit the circumstance and the age that the girls are in. However, I found it useful and will continue using it. I am still on the lookout for other books to make my lessons more varied and interesting. Keep it up!
