Luminous Clay
Working with Bone China and Porcelain Paperclay
Angela Mellor
9781789943894 | Paperback | 246x189mm | £25 / $35 / CAN $47
A contemporary guide to creating beautiful, translucent ceramics.
Porcelain and bone china are known and prized for their fineness, delicacy, and translucence, but can be difficult to use and pose particular problems for the potters and ceramic artists using it.
In LuminousClay, bone china expert Angela Mellor aims to demystify these clays, encouraging more ceramists to explore these exciting mediums. The book explains a new way of working with bone china, a clay body created by the addition of bone ash to porcelain. With the introduction of paper pulp the clay is transformed, allowing freedom of expression through handbuilding that was previously impossible and allowing the potter to take full advantage of its whiteness and translucency. Gorgeous photography throughout demonstrates how ceramicists around the world are able to create extraordinary pieces that ripple and bend light.
Angela Mellor started working in bone china in 1991. Moving to Australia in 1995, she conducted research at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, and completed an MA at Monash University, Melbourne in 2000. During this time she pioneered the use of bone china paperclay, gaining honourable mentions in Japan and Korea. Angela set up a studio in Perth in 2000 and was awarded a Crafts Council Grant to work with a lighting designer, culminating in a solo exhibition at Craftwest. She returned to the UK in 2006 to work in her studio in Cambridgeshire.

Nalbinding – It’s Not Knitting
Heritage Techniques for the Contemporary Textile Crafter
Sally Pointer
9781789943061 | Paperback | 280x216mm | £30 / $40 / CAN $53
Put down your knitting and pick up something new – and old – with these 20 projects teaching needle-looped stitches from across the millennia.
Nalbinding – loop-manipulated textiles that use just a single needle – can be traced as far back as the Mesolithic period and is still popular in Scandinavia. The results of the various techniques can resemble wool knitting or be worked as an open mesh akin to netting; it can be dense and warm or light and airy; and can use thick woollen yarns or be worked in thin, smooth plant fibres.
This guide containing modern-day designs will teach you various nalbinding techniques and stitches dating from the Stone Age, through the Bronze Age, Ancient Egypt, into medieval Scandinavia and beyond. Sally Pointer’s photographic step-bystep instructions will show you how to create your own knotless netting shopping bag, drawing on a Neolithic textile fragment; craft a messenger bag using Oslo, Mammen and Dalby stitches; and knock up practical old favourites such as pixie hats, socks, slippers and, of course, mittens!
Sally Pointer is an English archaeologist and award-winning heritage educator committed to keeping techniques from the past in use within modern society. With a working background in the Museum and Heritage industry, she has an MSc in Experimental Archaeology and is currently an Honorary Associate Research Fellow at Exeter University, where she is researching prehistoric textiles.

Exploring Crystalline Glazes
Diane Creber
9781789943931 | Paperback | 246x189mm | £25 / $35 / CAN $47
Prepare to be dazzled by this contemporary guide to the art of crystalline glazing.
Crystalline glazes are known for producing exciting works reminiscent of floating galaxies, frosty windows, rare gemstones and delicate flowers. Until recently, however, few potters worked with this elusive medium. Now, with new advancements in materials and digital processors, the method has become simplified and amazing results can be achieved without the problems usually associated with these glazes, such as excessive glaze run-off and unpredictable crystal growth.
In this book, Diane Creber explores the history of this process, beginning with the most suitable clays, the different types of crystalline glazes, how they can be grown under controlled conditions, and how different ingredients react with each other. Through a survey of several well-known crystalline glaze potters, she reveals their secrets and shows examples of their unique work.
From clay and glaze recipes to an in-depth look at firing aids and types of kilns, ExploringCrystallineGlazes has everything a potter needs to make their own glazes and create their own stunning works of art.
Diane Creber’s award-winning pottery has been exhibited internationally and across Canada. After 45 years running Wilton Pottery, she embraced crystalline glazes, eventually authoring the first book on the subject, CrystallineGlazes(1997), now published by Herbert Press in the Ceramics Handbook series.

A beekeeper’s guide to straw skep-building, including sections on bee history and mythology, practical skep beekeeping, and making honey and wax products.
Dating back to ancient times, the bee skep is essentially an upturned lipwork basket with a small bee entrance near the base.

With no full-time skep-makers in the UK, the practice is on Heritage Craft’s Red List of endangered crafts so you may need to make your own.
Master skep maker and beekeeper Chris Park helps you learn these revered skills with step-by-step photographic guidance on skep construction, as well as instructions for making the protective straw cone or ‘hackle’ to go over the top. Woven into this is a rich potted history of skep beekeeping, its folklore and heritage, and an exploration of honey’s medicinal properties, offering up a wealth of knowledge as you perfect your skepmaking skills.
Chris Park is the world’s leading expert on bee skeps and teaches skep-making for the British Beekeeping Association, the National Honey Show and special interest groups.

Sustainable Art and Autism
James Owen Thomas
9781789942200 | Hardback | 246x189mm | £25 / $35 / CAN $47
An exploration of colourful collages influenced by autism and the natural world by award-winning environmental artist James Owen Thomas. Foreword by Monty Don.
James creates bold, engaging collages and montages from old lottery scratchcards and other used materials. His autism has an influence throughout his creative process, from gathering materials to sorting them by colour, visual theme and texture before hole-punching, tearing or cutting them up for collaging – it even affects the subjects he depicts. These are primarily peaceful, calming woodland settings and animals, but also branch out into architecture, portraiture and the surreal.
This beautifully illustrated examination of his work shows how his art and love for nature have helped him cope with autism from an early age, going on to explain the inspiration behind many of his pieces and the various techniques he uses. An emotive biographical section describes the many challenges of his autism and how he has worked through them – and with them – to become a successful artist and environmental campaigner.
James Owen Thomas was born in Eastbourne in 2001. After being diagnosed with autism aged 4, he used art and nature as a medium of expression. He later developed a particular interest for art highlighting environmental issues such as single use products and, in his practice, encourages and inspires people to recycle and look forward to a more environmentally friendly future.

The Manchester Art Book
The City Through the Eyes of its Artists
9781906860974 | Hardback | 197x160mm | £16.99 / $22 / CAN $29
A remarkable collection of artworks that shine a light on the city’s grand edifices, quirky nooks, hidden quarters and modern architecture with equal affection and pride.
From cotton mills – for this city was once the centre of textile manufacture – to classical composers and the successful careers of the Gallagher brothers, this is a city with a rich and diverse history. It’s university, where Ernest Rutherford first split the atom in 1917, and established at the birth of modernity as we know it, features many 19th-century buildings and since 2004 has been the largest single-site university in the UK – hosting both the Victoria University of Manchester and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.
In their work, over 50 local artists portray the Gothic grandeur of Manchester cathedral, its many and varied railway stations, and the breathtaking architecture of the Royal Exchange Theatre, the city’s former cotton exchange.
This book is a tribute to Manchester, a city famous for its creative and commercial exports, whose extensive canal network and dense urban landscape helped solidify its position as the world’s first industrial city. The ManchesterArt Book offers a new perspective on the city, through the eyes of the local artists it continues to inspire.
Emma Bennett is the editor of the city art book series. She is a collage artist, creating vibrant intricate hand-cut collage pictures using minute details. Her fascination with design and recycling leads to beautiful collages, as in the cover of this lovely book.
Ceramics: A Green Approach
Kevin Millward
9781789941944 | Paperback | 246x189mm | £25 / $35 / CAN $47
From extracting clay to exporting your work, this is a practical guide to producing unique ceramic pieces with minimal environmental impact.
Being a green potter is not an easy feat. Historically, a lot more attention is given to the finished pieces coming out of the kiln rather than to the damages made throughout the designing and making processes. However, as we progress into the twenty-first century, and our awareness of our impact on the environment increases, caring for our planet in the studio has never been more important.
In this book, Kevin Millward explores how potters and ceramicists can be more responsible in sourcing and using the planet’s finite resources. With tips for the whole making process such as firing, choosing fuels, extracting clays and raw materials, reclaiming water and glazes, disposing of ceramic materials, packing and shipping, this is a comprehensive guide to producing extraordinary pieces.
By accepting and embracing a green approach in ceramic processes, we are setting out an example for future generations and paving the way for a more creative and respectful industry.
Kevin Millward is an internationally renowned ceramicist who has been potting for over 30 years and has presented seminars, workshops and lectures, as well as trained potters from all over the world. He teaches ceramics at Bucks New University and the University of Westminster and has more recently been series consultant to Channel 4’s TheGreatPotteryThrowDown.
Indian Block Printing
An Inspirational Project Book
Tess Grace and Holly Jones
9781789943412 | Paperback | 280x216mm | £18.99 / $25 / CAN $34
An immersive guide to the mindful craft of Indian block printing.
Block printing, where carved wooden blocks are used to hand print patterns onto fabric and paper, has been a thriving craft in India since at least the twelfth century.
Today, the industry is dominated by the workshops around Jaipur and the projects in this book are filled with tried-and-tested tips to help you produce vibrant contemporary designs inspired by the city. From simple motifs to intricate designs – and from tablecloths and tote bags to air-dry clay and gift wrapping – this is a comprehensive guide both for beginners and experienced crafters looking to refine their work.
Colourful photographic sections are woven into the text, providing details of the authors’ visits to block carvers, printers and dyers in the Jaipuri villages of Sanganer and Bagru, and how these influences are applied back in their own UK studio.
Tess Grace has a background in craft, has trained extensively with master block printers in Rajasthan and has taught hundreds of crafters to print at the Indian Block Print Co. studio.
Holly Jones started her career training in screen printing, before developing workshops and project books for Annie Sloan. Since 2018, she has run the Indian Block Print Co. studio with Tess, alongside her own fabric design business, Holly B. Designs.
