Firing Earth: An Unexpected History of Pots and Potters
Autor Keith Brymer Jonesen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2026
Sitting down at the wheel and grasping a ball of clay, I can travel back in time. I'm compelled to slow down to the pace of my ancestors.'
Firing Earth is Pottery Throwdown judge Keith Brymer Jones's very personal journey through the history of ceramics. From wine jars to ink pots, Keith enthrals and entertains us with his knowledge of pottery and potters, what they made and how they did it, exploring what an important role ceramics have played in history. Along the way he reveals how his own life is part of a heritage that demands the same of its makers today as it did thousand's of years ago: creativity, patience and respect for the material itself.
You will never look at a mug in the same way again.

Recenzii
'This book is inspired by the strange limbo we found ourselves in between buying our Welsh chapel in 2022 and 2025 when we moved in. My partner Marj and I racked up thousands of road miles shuttling between the Kent coast and the Llŷn Peninsula, where our new life was waiting for us. We did two theatre tours, plus a working holiday in China and Australia. It was intoxicating meeting so many different people, becoming aware of potters I'd never encountered before, discovering new techniques, and opening my mind to where my own career might head in the future. Out of these experiences, stories began to emerge-some from my own life, some featuring people and places that history has largely overlooked.'
