This book combines extensive research with interviews granted by three Santa Clara potters. During the interviews, the author recorded and photographed each step - from clay pit to market - in the making of contemporary Santa Clara pottery. Collecting and preparing the clay, making slips and paints, modelling various kinds of vessels, sanding, smoothing, slipping, polishing, decorating, firing - all are described and illustrated so thoroughly that the reader can experiment with the Santa Clara techniques himself if he wishes.
