I also feel strongly that art making is a research driven activity. The infor- mation contained in this book is written by some of the more innovative and interesting minds working in ceramics today. While not all of the ideas are necessarily groundbreaking, they are unique in their individual approach to the use of the material. How these artists researched and successfully used the processes they set out to is inspirational, informative and important. I hope you find the research contained in these pages as exciting as I do
