Focusing on more than\nthirty potters in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi,\nand Kentucky, Nancy Sweezy tells how families preserve and practice the\ntraditional art of pottery making today. First published in 1984,\nSweezy's book documents the last generation of potters to have direct\ncontact with preindustrial pottery traditions. It portrays the\npersonalities of the potters, treating this aspect as carefully as the\ntraditions themselves, and discusses various types of wheels, glazes,\nand kilns and each potter's specialty pieces. Photographs and line\ndrawings showing potters, their potteries and equipment, examples of\nfinished work, and step-by-step works in progress enhance the text.\nSweezy's introductory chapter provides a superb history of southern\npottery making. For this edition, she has added a new afterword on\nrecent changes in the potting scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNancy\nSweezy, a potter for more than thirty-five years, is former director of\nJugtown Pottery in Seagrove, North Carolina.
