Summary

"The Potter's Craft: A Practical Guide for the Studio and Workshop" by Charles Fergus Binns explores the art of pottery, emphasizing both its scientific principles and artistic possibilities, likely from the early 20th century. Designed as a resource for students and artisans, the guide champions the development of ceramic art skills. The prefaces to the first and second editions highlight the author's deep understanding of ceramics and recognize the increasing value placed on handcrafted items amid a world of mass production. Binns stresses personal expression in art and intends the book to act as a springboard for individual exploration rather than a rigid set of instructions, promoting a thoughtful engagement with pottery techniques and concepts.
