Michael Casson

 

For thousands of years mankind has used clay to make objects of beauty

Casson draws on the great traditions of the past and the best work of the
present to explain how to make not only a pot, but a better pot ; to explore the
many ways of decorating ; and to delve into the mysteries of glaze and fire.
