you need to own this book

Customer Rating:

I have been fortunate enough to meet with Carolyn Genders and watch her work, she is an inspiration and loves sharing her way of working. Carolyn's book is simply a must have for anyone interested in making ceramics it encourages you to look at things around you in a different way, and by documenting anything that takes your fancy or catches your eye carolyn's book shows how to use that in your work by example. her photographs and sketchs are amazing, if you get a chance to meet with her in person and do a workshop you will be amazed at what she will encourage in you. this is a beautiful well thought out book which will inspire any artist who owns it.

A Great Source

Customer Rating:

This is not only a great source of inspiration for artists but also a fantastic eye opener and education for those who want to be enthused by every day life. It is a "must have" for anyone who is looking but not seeing what they are looking at. Personally my favorite part of the book refers to reflections. In every lake, pond, puddle and sink of water I now see the reflections that Carolyn refers to as full of mystery and promise, and understand the atmosphere and moods that are created by the mirror image. How these are then transfered onto the beautiful pots in her work is fascinating. A clever combination of Carolyn Genders inspiration for her work and also her obvious passion for life makes this book a one off and I would recommend it to anyone from any walk of life.
