This beautiful modern volume presents the work of 45 contemporary artists who have turned to clay to shape their most innovative ideas into stunning works of art.

Featuring a unique package with a die-cut, foil-stamped cover, this book is a vital guide to an evolving medium and a thoughtful present for those interested in the future of art and craft.
