Ceramics and Print – new edition call for art

Paul Scott is writing a new version of his classic handbook Ceramics and Print – to bring it up to date for the twenty-first century. He is looking for new work to illustrate techniques and processes and would like to hear from you if you print (in the widest possible definition) on ceramics and are interested to have your work considered for inclusion…
Contact him via email at – [email protected]. In the first instance please don’t send large numbers of high res images, but a couple of examples of work with captions including:
Title of work, technique, firing details, approx. dimensions, date made – plus of course artist name…
Alternatively if you have a web site with appropriate images on it, send him details of that.
