The outstanding examples range from representational to abstract, diminutive to heroic. Nan Smith uses a range of mold-making techniques and precise slab construction, while Akio Takamori coil-builds a simplified figure inspired by a Velásquez painting and Christyl Boger creates a lavishly decorated, classically formal figurine. Each featured sculptor discusses the unique attractions and challenges of his or her method, and a series of detailed color photographs follows the artwork as it takes shape. In addition, there's a gallery of contemporary pieces selected by the major contributors. Glen R. Brown, a noted writer on ceramics, provides an insightful, thought-provoking introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337619403040,"sku":"USED1579906117","price":67.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/713BS8lup4L.jpg?v=1789081096","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-figure-in-clay-contemporary-sculpting-techniques-by-master-artists-a-lark-ceramics-book-1579906117-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
