"In this lively and informative book, Michael and Victoria Eden not only trace the history of slipware and discuss the techniques involved, but also cover a wide cross-section of contemporary practice. The book is highly illustrated with a glorious array of striking images. It does contain some traditional pieces but most of the artwork reflects the current work of an international group of artists. " "Slipware offers an introduction and practical information about the subject but primarily it is intended as an inspiration for other potters and a source of visual delight for all those interested in contemporary ceramics.
