Earth & Fire: Modern Ceramicists, Their Tools, Techniques, and Practices

Earth and fire represent the two elements that produce a ceramic object. Without the other they are simply components; together they create both practical objects and pieces of art. Working as both primer and inspiration, Earth Fire explores the techniques, practices, and tools of over forty-five working ceramicists.


Creating everything from wood-fired and fine porcelain wares; sculptured vases; everyday cups, bowls, and plates; to jewelry and wall pieces, these artists work in a wide range of styles and mediums to create their ceramics. Although the methods vary, the overall sentiment is that the earth and fire that the artists use to make their objects are the ultimate masters. Just when they think they know one thing, the clay, glaze, and heat will teach them another. There will always be more to learn. Working with clay is, quite simply, humbling.


Written and compiled by Kylie Johnson and Tiffany Johnson, Earth Fire captures the diverse beauty and utility of ceramics, demonstrating that clay doesn’t just get under your fingernails; it gets under your skin.
