"The Ceramic Surface" an international book with NZ potters

The Ceramic Surface, by Matthias Ostermann, first published 2002

It's my book now! Thinking perhaps Richard was NZ's sole representative I have had a bit more of a flick and found work by Chris Weaver, Royce McGlashen (twice), Andrew and Jeannie van Der Putten (separately), Raewyn Atkinson, Tony Bond, Merilyn Wiseman, Christine Thacker, and Steve Fulmer. Hope I didn't miss anyone.

At that price perhaps I should probably have bought two copies because as pretty as it is it is also very instructive so I'm likely to destroy this one pawing it with grubby hands.
