Animals are a recurringly popular subject for ceramicists. This has been so since ancient times. Currently the field is undergoing a particularly buoyant spell and many artists are working in this area. In this highly illustrated book, Ian Gregory covers the history of animal ceramics and then takes a look at ceramic artists around the world who are currently making these figures. Each artist has an artist's statement discussing the themes and inspiration behind their work as well as an outline of how it is made. The book has been broken down into methods and techniques: slab building, modelled, using armatures or moulds, carved and coiled and mixed techniques.
