He suggests simple and achievable methods by which to reduce the carbon footprint of ceramic art, and draws on interviews and examples throughout by practitioners who reclaim, reuse and recycle in their studio or work.

Book Description
During the mid-third millennium BC, people across Europe started using an international suite of novel material culture including early metalwork and distinctive ceramics known as Beakers. The nature and social significance of this phenomenon, as well as the reasons for its rapid and widespread transmission have been much debated. The adoption of these new ideas and objects in Ireland, Europe's westernmost island, provides a highly suitable case study in which to investigate these issues. While many Beaker-related stone and metal artefacts were previously known from Ireland, a decade of intens.

Book Description
"In 1993 an excavation near the Ravenhill Road in Belfast uncovered evidence of one of the largest potteries ever built in Ireland. Although its short-lived existence is largely unknown today, the Downshire Pottery was founded during the 1780s with an ambitious aim - to compete with the greatest eighteenth-century potter of all, Josiah Wedgwood. The fine-quality wares they produced, known as creamwares or 'Queen's-wares', were often richly coloured and handsomely decorated, but they were never marked. Consequently, not even one example of Irish Creamware was known before the excavations look place. In the few years since then, a small but diverse selection of pieces has already been identified, and the range continues to grow." "This book provides a thorough account of the rise and decline of this fascinating pottery, bringing together all of the available documentary evidence, describing the excavated finds in detail and illustrating the examples of Downshire pottery that are now recognised. The many photographs provide a unique insight into an aspect of Irish art and history that previously has been largely overlooked. For those who might hope to find a rare example of this Irish creamware for themselves, the book will prove an invaluable guide."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
