This informative text is designed primarily for artists and craftsmen, offering insights into various potting techniques, materials, and the historical context of the craft. The book emphasizes the artistic aspects of pottery while also acknowledging the scientific principles that support the craft's techniques.  The opening of the work introduces the reader to the complex nature of pottery, highlighting the challenges of mixing artistic creativity with scientific knowledge. Cox begins by addressing the necessity of understanding processes and working with materials, proposing that true artistry in pottery is derived from a blend of technical proficiency and a refined aesthetic sense. He emphasizes the importance of studying historical forms and designs, encouraging students to cultivate an appreciation for the best examples of ceramic art throughout different periods.
