    Book Description

    Form has always been one of the most important aspects of ceramics and one that continues to challenge and stimulate potters throughout the world. In this new paperback edition, Peter Lane explores the various elements involved in the design and making of ceramics by concentrating on the two fundamental pottery vessels-bowls and bottles-which provide the basis for almost all others. This is an essential reference for potters, historians, and collectors.

    This is another excellent book by Peter Lane. A good all round reference for design and decoration with a collection of work from many leading artists. The variety offered in this book will keep your inspiration going for many years.

    5 out of 5 stars very professional and practical.......2000-04-16

    I'm just involved in ceramics and I am more interested in homelife ceramics. This book gives me much ideas of vessel forms and decorations, it's very helpful, especially in the chapter 6 "forms in profile"!

      Book Description

      This fascinating book explores the history, techniques, and cultural significance of medieval aquamanilia, cast metal objects used to pour water for hand washing in religious and secular contexts. Usually created in appealing animal or human forms, aquamanilia feature two openings, one for filling and the other for pouring. They represent the first emergence of hollow-cast vessels in Western Europe and a significant development in the history of technology. The book presents and catalogues the entire aquamanilia collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time, as well as selected examples from other collections and other related medieval objects.

      5 out of 5 stars Gardens & Glass At Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago.......2006-01-24

      Artist Dale Chihuly's forty-year career continues to surprise and astound as he radically transforms perceptions about the medium of glass. In this beautifully illustrated book, you will see Chihuly's extraordinary installations at the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago. He has taken glass well beyond the traditional display case, out into nature itself. The brilliance of color and form of the glass, and the plants it is set among, creates a new reality within the conservatory. Long before arriving at Garfield's gate, Chihuly had been placing his work in unusual settings, often outdoors. From the canals of Venice to the historic walls of the ancient city of Jerusalem, Chihuly has worked his magic. These images, side by side with Chihuly's quotes, provide insight into the personality of this major artist, and show the wide range of his interests as well as his sense of humor.
      An essay by Barbara Rose addresses Chihuly's place in art history, while the essay by Garfield Conservatory director Lisa C. Roberts provides a history of garden conservatories captured so effectively in the vintage postal cards from Chihuly's own collection that open the book). Artist Mark McDonnell explores the intriguing locations that Chihuly is drawn to and his ongoing interest in glass buildings.

      4 out of 5 stars Good designs, but would like color plates...........2000-08-13

      A very good sourcebook for Turkish (Iznik) Pottery motifs from the 1475-1660's. The designs are large and very clear, but they are only in B&W. This book is really good for people who want to learn about Turkish floral designs. There aren't very many geometric designs, or explanations about how's and why's (i.e. the book shows you the designs, but they don't explain why it's used or it's significance...though at the beginning of the book there is a short explanation...)This book is GREAT for ARTISTS! Though it doesn't tell you how to start your own design motif, there are so many examples, that it isn't hard to figure out! I thought this book was really helpful to me! (I am trying to design a pseudo-Turkish design for my own serving platter.)

      5 out of 5 stars Usefull source for Turkish traditional design students.......2000-04-30

      This book is a real treasury for one interested in Turkish design art/illumination. (TEZHIP in Turkish) I`m interested in calligraphy and illumination as a hobby and this book is a very good source with its traditional Iznik pottery motifs. The only missing point for me is lack of colourfull pictures of Iznik plates. Everybody interested in design and pottery should see this book.

                  arsenalpulp.com :

                  An extraordinary and moving book about the transforming power of family and community on "vulnerable" individuals—the mentally challenged, the mentally ill, the elderly—and how these efforts enrich us as a society.

                  Company of Others tells the stories, interwoven with photographs, of five such people, who are surrounded by social "circles"—friends and family whose respect, encouragement, and unconditional love gives them a sense of purpose and belonging. Among them are Betty, a First Nations elder whose family makes it possible for her to continue living on the central BC ranch she's made her home for seventy years; Rick, a man in his fifties, who shares his Montreal apartment with two other men, all of whom live with schizophrenia; and Margaret, a woman in her forties with Downs syndrome, whose aging parents' dedication has led to the support of an entire community in small-town Alberta.

                  The stories told here are profoundly inspiring, giving hope to anyone who is or knows a person who, because of age, health, or disability, has been excluded from having a full and meaningful life. This is not a book about helping those with disabilities, but a proposal for a better way of living together in any community.

                  The Company of Others is produced with the PLAN (Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network) Institute, an organization that facilitates social networks around the world, and is dedicated to ensuring that those with disabilities and other vulnerable individuals enjoy the full rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

                    Don't get on a bus, train or plane and read this book because you will laugh out loud and people will want you to explain your laughter.I love this book I had it in the 70s it was funny then and it is funnier now.

                    5 out of 5 stars Funny, warm and true!.......2006-05-16

                    I am on an Erma Bombeck kick ~~ and to be honest, this one is my favorite. I have rated all the others a five but if I could rate this one a ten, I would. It's funny, it's warm and it's loving as well as full of statire. I love statire. It's not the mushy warmth you'd think you're getting. Even if it is a bit dated (I grew up in the 70s & 80s) ~~ the insights are still true today.

                    This book made me laugh and made me cry. I think my absolute favorite chapter would be: I am Laughing So Hard that I Can't Stop Crying. I think I cried and laughed throughout that whole chapter. There's one where the father grumbles about the grass being torn up because of the wading pool, the sledding parties and beach parties. Then there's the one where it says, I love you enough to say no .... truths that my parents have always said to me and truths that I plan to pass onto my kids.

                    This book is heartfelt and witty. I wish there are more writers like Erma still out there. Sometimes, it seems like not everyone has a sense of humor anymore about life ~~ and even though life was hard, Erma made it all worthwhile. It still rings true today.

                    5 out of 5 stars warm, witty and full of insight!.......2006-02-19

                    For those of you unfamiliar with Erma Bombeck, I suggest that you check this book out, as part of your introduction to her wonderful, unique brand of comedy. Most of her insights in this book (like many of her books) are family-centered observations, that relate to the part that exists in all of us--yes, that tension between us and the fear that we are indeed a product of our environment, and that we also may be turning into our parents!!!!

                    Bombeck takes on the topics like housecleaning, childrearing and the day-to-day sagas of the American housewife. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, that job, in and of itself, is just as full time and demanding as any out-of-the-house kind of work. Bombeck depicts her experiences, as a housewife, with a combination of wit and sensitivity that also makes her exceptionally engaging as a wonderful storyteller. A fast and entertaining read!!

                                Erma Bombeck confronts society's greatest challenge: Surviving the Seventies - the fears, the worries, the anxieties. She shares with her millions of readers some of her deepest concerns; discovering that lettuce has been fattening all along; getting into the Guinness Book of Records under "Pregnancy: Oldest Recorded Birth,", leaving the world suddenly and knowing that no one else in the family can replace a toilet-tissue spindle.

                                Erma meditates on such philosophical dilemmas as who killed apple pie, and contemplates the futility of surviving a white sale only to find that all that's left are double top sheets and single contour bottoms. She offers warm and wise advice on what to do when the supermarket discontinues your silverware pattern, and provides sane alternatives for the working wife trying to quick-thaw a pork chop under each armpit. The book abounds with down-to-earth practical suggestions for coping - the art of financing sirloin tip at 6 percent on the unpaid balance for thirty-six months, the secret of making towel racks out of oversexed coat hangers, what to do when your ozone is in trouble, how to handle traumas, natural disasters, deep depression, and readily adjust when they run out of extra-crispy chicken at the carry-out.

                                Erma has always kept me laughing and this book is one of her best. Erma was the author of a syndicated column for thirteen years which appeared in 700 newspapers, and she vowed she would hang all her awards and recognitions in her utility room. It's where she earned them. This is her fifth book. Her hobby is dusting.
