For more than a decade, the British team
of Hinchcliffe and Barber have been at the
forefront of exciting colourist patterned
ceramics and textiles. Their work has fea-
tured in books and magazines on both sides
of the Atlantic and increasingly in Europe -
and they have come to be seen as the mod-

Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper in which
intense colour and vigorously inventive pat-

Barber reveal the sources of their creative
approach and show in practical detail how

Beautifully illustrated with specially commis-

shows the stages of their evolution from the
first impressionistic sketch to the final pat-

Beautifully illustrated with specially commis-

explores a rich selection of decorative
themes that have inspired the authors and
shows the stages of their evolution from the
first impressionistic sketch to the final pat-
terned ceramic object. Different decorative
techniques - including stencilling, sgraffito
and spongeing - are fully illustrated, while
colour coordinated ceramics and textiles are
shown working together to create distinc-
tive atmospheric interiors. With its unique
blend of inspirational and practical ele-
ments, Ceramic Style will undoubtedly
prove to be the most visually exciting as well
as the most enduring of sourcebooks on
this fascinating subject. Vissza
