I Orrefors 1898–1930 skildrar Henrik Sandberg hur ett litet bortglömt bruk i den småländska skogen gick från att tillverka fönsterglas, ölflaskor och konservburkar till att bli en av Europas mest framstående konstindustrier.
I början av 1900-talet hade svensk glastillverkning stagnerat. Modellerna och formerna såg ut som de gjort sedan mitten av artonhundratalet och det som visades upp på mässor och utställningar fick hård kritik. Men så hände något i Orrefors: Glasbruket fick en ledning som drevs av viljan att skapa något nytt. Så småningom blev Orrefors själva sinnebilden för Swedish Grace med sina praktfullt utformade vaser och pokaler.
Det här är en berättelse om glas och svensk designhistoria, om formgivarnas skaparglädje, glasarbetarnas skicklighet och bruksledningens vilja att slå världen med häpnad. I denna fint formgivna och rikt illustrerade bok skildras brukets framgångssaga och framväxten av det moderna svenska konstglaset från början av 1910-talet till funktionalismens intåg tjugo år senare.

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, Exploring Crystalline Glazes has everything a potter needs to make their own glazes and create their own stunning works of art.

A young ceramicist's journey from apprentice potter to celebrated craftsmanFlorian Gadsby has devoted his life to pottery, refining his technique towards the point of perfection - and as his skill has grown, so has his social media following, which today numbers in the millions. Based at a studio in North London, he releases three new collections per year, characterized by simple forms and sharp edges, which sell out in a matter of minutes.In By My Hands, Florian tells the story of his artistic awakening, his education in England, Ireland and Japan, and of the sheer discipline which has led him to become the cultural sensation he is today. Arguing for the value in dedicating yourself to a craft, Florian weaves anecdotes about particular pots and processes into the narrative of his life, exploring what he has learnt from specific pieces he was taught to throw during his apprenticeships and how they have informed his philosophy and approach to his work.By My Hands is an ode to the beauty of small things, such as a simple hand-thrown mug or bowl, which can brighten life's daily rituals and make them more meaningful - as well as an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance.

Antologin har tidigare utgivits i serien Perspektiv från världsarvet Engelsbergs bruk, nu i nytt mindre format.
Arkitekten och överintendenten Carl Johan Cronstedt presenterade 1767 ett memorial med titeln "Beskrifning på Ny Inrättning af Kakelugnar til Weds Besparing för Rikets råd". Där beskrevs en revolutionerande konstruktion som skulle komma att förändra svensk arkitektur och hushållning under de kommande hundrafemtio åren: den moderna kakelugnen.
Fram till 1900-talets början förblev kakelugnen den i särklass viktigaste värmekällan i svenska hem. Både teknik och estetik förfinades, även om det huvudsakligen är samma grundprincip som än idag används vid kakelugnsuppsättningar. I våra dagar är kakelugnen ett viktigt exempel på upplysningstidens arbete med teknik, vetenskap och konsthantverk, och genom att följa kakelugnens utveckling öppnas ett fönster till 1700-talets tankevärld.
Huvudredaktörer är Kurt Almqvist och Svante Helmbaek Tirén.

"Radical and inspiring ... Yanagi's vision puts the connection between heart and hand before the transient and commercial" - Edmund de WaalThe daily lives of ordinary people are replete with objects, common things used in commonplace settings. These objects are our constant companions in life. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - the aesthetic result of wholeheartedly fulfilling utilitarian needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty.In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, these essays call for us to deepen and transform our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple, humble craftsmen Yanagi encountered during his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, they are an earnest defence of modest, honest, handcrafted things - from traditional teacups to jars to cloth and paper. Objects like these exemplify the enduring appeal of simplicity and function: the beauty of everyday things.

Hertha Hillfon (1921-2013) var Sveriges främsta keramiska skulptör under 1900-talet. Hennes arbete spände från det abstrakta till det föreställande, från utlevande och dramatiska kompositioner till enkla och vardagliga motiv. Tidningsreportage, tv-program och ett stort antal verk i offentlig miljö gjorde henne välkänd och folkkär. Den här boken presenterar hennes arbete genom konsthistoriska essäer och intervjuer med människor som stod henne nära. Boken innehåller också ett rikt och tidigare delvis opublicerat bildmaterial. Boken har parallelltext på svenska och engelska. Hertha Hillfon (1921-2013) was Sweden’s leading ceramic sculptor of the 20th century. Her work ranged from abstract to figurative and from dramatically ebullient compositions to simple, domestic motifs. Frequent newspaper reports, TV programmes and a large number of works in the public domain led to her becoming both well-known and popular. In this book she is presented by critical essays as well as interviews with people close to her. The book is richly illustrated, partly with hitherto unpublished photographs. The book has parallel text in Swedish and English.

“Roll-up-your-sleeves advice on throwing pottery, growing dahlias, cooking her tried-and-true recipes, and everything in between.”—Martha Stewart Living“Suited to any type of creative, offering up lessons on inspiration and creativity that are sure to bring out your inner talent.” —House Beautiful, Best New Design Books What makes a creative life? For an artist like Frances Palmer, it’s knitting all of one’s passions—all of one’s creativity—into the whole of life. And what an inspiration it is. A renowned potter, an entrepreneur, a gardener, a photographer, a cook, a beekeeper, Palmer has over the course of three decades caught the attention not only of the countless people who collect and use her ceramics but also of designers and design lovers, writers, and fellow artists who marvel at her example. Now, in her first book, she finally tells her story, in her own words and images, distilling from her experiences lessons that will inspire a new generation of makers and entrepreneurs.Life in the Studio is as beautiful and unexpected as Palmer’s pottery, as breathtakingly colorful as her celebrated dahlias, as intimate as the dinners she hosts in her studio for friends and family. There are insights into making pots—the importance of centering, the discovery that clay has a memory. Strategies for how to turn a passion into a business—the value to be found in collaboration, what it means to persevere, how to develop and stick to a routine that will sustain both enthusiasm and productivity. There are also step-by-step instructions (for throwing her beloved Sabine pot, growing dahlias, building an opulent flower arrangement). Even some of her most tried-and-true recipes. The result is a portrait of a unique artist and a singularly generous manual on how to live a creative life.

Potters and Patrons in Edo Period Japan: Takatori Ware and the Kuroda Domain traces the development of one of Japan's best-documented ceramic types, from its beginnings around 1600 until the abolition of the domain system in 1871. Using historical records, archaeological material from early kilns and consumer sites, and the results of comparative chemical analysis, this study explores the operation of Takatori as the official ceramic workshop of the Kuroda, lords of one of the largest domains in Japan. Spanning cultural, aesthetic, economic and practical aspects, this book presents Takatori ware as an ideal archetype with which to compare developments in elite ceramics in other parts of Japan throughout the Edo period. In addition to its scholarly examination of the operation of a domain-sponsored ceramics workshop over more than 250 years, the book includes illustrations of examples from each of the seven Takatori workshop locations, including beautiful pieces that have never before appeared in print.

A beautifully illustrated guide to the world of Victorian stained glass and its manufacturers and designers.Victorian stained glass – magnificent, colourful and artistic – adorns countless British churches, municipal buildings and homes. Across the decades, several artistic movements influenced these designs, from the Gothic Revival, through the Arts and Crafts Movement and into Art Nouveau as a new century dawned. Historian Trevor Yorke shows how craftsmen re-learned the lost medieval art of colouring, painting and assembling stained glass windows – but also, in this age of industry, how windows were templated and mass produced. Showcasing the exquisite glass generated by famous designers such as A.W.N. Pugin, Pre-Raphaelites William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, and by leading manufacturers such as Clayton and Bell, this beautifully illustrated book introduces the reader to many wonderful examples of Victorian stained glass and where it can be found.

BIRGER E. NILSSON (BEN) är mest känd för sin keramik. Hans bruksgods kännetecknas av enkla former som genom askglasyrernas variationer och vedugnens höga temperatur får ett unikt uttryck. Influenserna från den japanska keramiktraditionen är tydliga, men han kopierade inte utan skapade något eget. Birgers konstnärliga gärning var mångsidig – han målade och tecknade, arbetade med brukskeramik och skulptur, skrev dikter och anlade en japaninspirerad parkliknande trädgård vid hemmet i Veinge i Halland. Gemensamt i allt Birger tog sig för var att han inspirerades av naturen; han var också en hängiven amatörbotaniker. Bokens redaktör Theo Ågren skildrar konstnärens livsresa från ett fattigt arbetarhem i Norrland till lärlingstiden vid Anjous krukmakeri i Skene, etableringen av en egen verkstad i först Sangis, senare i Mölndal och slutligen i Veinge. Hanna Riisager bidrar med dikter där hon går i dialog med sin farfars dikter. Birgers dotter Hildegun Nils¬son Varhelyi beskriver trädgården, verkstaden och hemmet i Veinge. Annelie Tuveros sätter in konstnärskapet i en museal kontext och Love Jönsson skriver om ett möte med Birgers keramik hemma hos konstnären och samlaren Joe Hedlund. Boken är rikt illustrerad med fotografier av Theo Ågren, Birgers egna målningar och teckningar samt bilder ur familjealbumet.

The first major publication to present Chinese and Japanese blue and white porcelain together, from the Frelinghuysen collection. This beautifully illustrated book presents the Frelinghuysen collection of Chinese and Japanese export porcelain. It is the first major publication to consider Chinese and Japanese blue and white together. This extraordinary collection, assembled carefully over fifty years, features an exceptionally wide array of Asian blue and white porcelain—the most ubiquitous and influential of all ceramics. Ranging from Chinese pieces specially made for Portuguese traders in the sixteenth century to late nineteenth-century commissions for the Thai royal court, the collection also includes numerous Chinese classics from the era of the European trading companies and a notable selection of Japanese export porcelain. In its vast scope, it speaks of the diverse impulses and historical forces that propelled the trade in Asian porcelain and provides a lens to view the interaction of East and West from the early modern age to the dawn of the twentieth century. More than 300 pieces from the collection are illustrated and discussed in full and another 250 are illustrated in a compendium, all divided into thematic chapters that reflect the many ways Chinese and Japanese porcelain has been traded, collected, and used around the world.
