It is often claimed that women were the first potters. While this may or may not be the case, the earliest pottery techniques are still used today in many parts of the world, largely by women. The reader is guided through these traditions continent by continent. Different areas are illustrated with beautiful, detailed maps and fascinating color photographs from around the world. This book should appeal not only to those interesed in ceramics, but also to those with an interest in world art outside the western tradition, in women's studies, material cultural, archeology, and social anthropology. 240 pages, hard bound.
