Robin Hopper

Professional studio potter and author Robin Hopper's love for the ceramic surface has manifested itself in a comprehensive and insightful examination of the processes involved in Making Marks. Starting with the fundamentals, Hopper explores in great detail the following surface techniques: plastic and liquid clay, processes, glaze processes, pigment processes, and firing and post-firing processes. More than 300 photos of both contemporary and historical pieces show the surface finishing techniques on completed pieces.
