This book is a celebration of 50 contemporary artists from around the world who have chosen to create the human form in clay. There is a detailed account of each artist's work, including biographical details and precise descriptions of their working methods. In addition, each artist has been asked to name a major source of inspiration—whether another artist or key work, in any medium and from any culture, explaining the reasons for their choice. The resulting depictions—ranging from the Willendorf Venus to a Michelangelo Pietà—combine with stunning photos of the artists' work to make this a book that will inform and inspire. Jane Waller has a Masters in Ceramics from the Royal College of Art; she has been making Millefiori and Raku ceramics for nearly 30 years. Among her previous books are Hand-Built Ceramics and Colour in Clay.

Human Form in Clay
If you are a lover of Greek mythology and also a fan of sister Wendy's delightful world of art appreciation, the content of this book will endear it to you: each of the Nine Muses is shown in a beautiful ceramic figurine with a description of the accordant muse. These Nine Muses are: Kalliope (Calliope), epic poetry; Kleio (Clio), history; Ourania (Urania), astronomy; Thaleia (Thalia), comedy; Melpomene, tragedy; Polymnia (Polyhymnia), religious hymns; Erato, erotic poetry; Euterpe, lyric poetry; and Terpsikhore (Terpsichore), choral song and dance. Through the Nine Muses, we seek inspiration from outside to invoke our artistic spheres from within. The gem of this book of Muses is sister Wendy's insightful narrative of the names and attributes of the Muses in the context of regarding the realm of human intellect and arts. This is a very lovely book filled with beautiful photos of the Muses and the author's personal reflections on human nature and creativity.
