A fully illustrated examination of the use of color in clay, outlining its history and exploring the styles and techniques of the leading modern makers.In nerikomi pottery, a ceramicist takes two or more different colored clays and combines them to create a decorative scheme that is then fired into the very fabric of the piece. Most often the colored designs or patterns - which may be coiled, marbled, geometric, mosaic or naturalistic - can be seen right through the piece, inside and out, the carefully engineered design permeating the structure, as opposed to using an external coat of glaze for the decoration. In this exploration of the approach, renowned ceramicist Thomas Hoadley explains various colored-clay techniques, defining nerikomi and its close relations neriage and agateware. Hoadley examines the work of historical and modern potters worldwide, from the Japanese masters Matsui Kosei and Ito Sekisui (both distinguished as Living National Treasures) to the likes of Curtis Benzie, Dorothy Feibleman, and Barbara Gittings. Each of these artists has taken inspiration from particular sources, refined an individual technique through trial and error, and produced a distinctive signature style. This fascinating book includes breathtaking images of finished pieces, and work-in-progress photographs, both from the author and from other leading experts in the field. Whether you have a general interest in ceramics or are seeking inspiration before embarking on your own nerikomi adventure, it tells you all you need to know about the work of the world's leading colored-clay artists.

A vivid and exciting account of royal collectors, art dealers, connoisseurs, and the rise of old master paintings Old master paintings are among the most valuable and prestigious of the visual arts, and the best examples command the highest prices of any luxury commodity. In Kings and Connoisseurs, Jonathan Brown tells the story of how painting rose to this exalted status. The transformation of painting from an inexpensive to a costly art form reached a crucial stage in the royal courts of Europe in the seventeenth century, where rulers and aristocrats assembled huge collections, often in short periods of time. By comparing collecting and collectors at these courts, Brown explains the formation of new attitudes toward pictures, as well as the mechanisms that supported the enterprise of collecting, including the emergence of the art dealer, the development of connoisseurship, and the publication of sumptuous picture books of various collections. The result is an exciting narrative of greed and passion, played out against a background of international politics and intrigue.

There is powerful evidence, too powerful to ignore, that quilting is a desirable and valuable activity to health, wellbeing and maintenance of social ties and independence as we age. Neurological research has found vital brain exercise is involved in making a quilt. Specialists in ageing commend quilting's benefits for brain health and its restorative benefits for social and emotional health and wellbeing. They well know the physical benefits of quilting to the Over 65s.Well, research is all fine, and it's good to have proof of what quilters have known for many years. However, try as we might we can't control the effects of age on our body. For some of us, physical ageing can be a challenge, if not a barrier, to continuing to quilt. As we grow older, hand quilting and machine quilting become difficult as our fingers, hands, shoulders and backs stiffen or become painful through arthritis. Age affects our ability to hold and use quilting tools and manipulate the weight of large quilts. We dread the time when we can no longer enjoy our well loved pastime.In "You're Never Too Old To Quilt", Christine Sutton presents a guide for all who, despite the painful effects of ageing, struggle to keep quilting, and for those who want to learn to quilt, but because of similar physical challenges have been hesitant to try.Based on "Quilt-As-You-Go" methods, Chris identifies tools and techniques to keep us quilting despite our aches and pains, making quilting easier for those struggling to meet the challenges of ageing and disability. Whether you are old hand, or coming to quilting for the first time, there is much in this book to foster the love and joy of patchwork and quilting and encourage quilters to keep on doing what they love.
