WPA Members Present Books on Edgerton Potteries and Ceramic Arts
Studio
First is a book by members Tim Holthaus and James Petzold, along with Donald- Brian Johnson entitled “Ceramic Arts Studio: The Legacy of Betty Harrington”. The book, published by Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., has been available since fall of 2003. It is a hardcover with 272 pages, including beautiful color photographs. This book not only shows examples of many Ceramic Arts pieces, but tells the remarkable story of Betty Harrington and the Ceramic Arts Studio, at one time the foremost producer of figurines and fine art pottery pieces. This book has been truly a labor of love for its authors and the most comprehensive text on Ceramic Arts Studio ever written. You can get a copy of this book at your local collectors bookstore or by contacting Schiffer Publishing online: www.schifferbooks.com
To get a copy of “Pauline Pottery” send $35.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling to: Arts Council of Edgerton Make checks payable to “Arts Council of Edgerton. |
This past year members of the
Wisconsin Pottery Association produced very exciting books that exceed every
expectation for both depth of information and lovely color photographs.
Another fall 2003 book
offering is WPA member Ori-Anne Pagel’s book “Pauline Pottery, a pictorial
supplement to Edgerton’s History in Clay”, her earlier volume on the potteries
of Edgerton, WI. The Pauline Pottery book is a magazine- like manual, 70+ pages,
including a timeline, and featuring beautiful color photographs of Pauline,
Norse and other potteries the production of which was so low that many will only
see the pieces via the photos in this book. Published by the Arts Council of
Edgerton, WI
