Book excerpt: Presented by the Custom House Maritime Museum in Newburyport, Massachusetts, this exhibition focuses on early American pottery production in Merrimacport from 1790-1890, with a focus on William Pecker pottery (circa 1790-1820), and by the Daniel Bayley Pottery Company in Newburyport (circa 1764 to 1799). This will cover most of the local pottery production before and after the American Revolution.The curatorial team of the Custom House Maritime Museum, along with Guest Curator Justin Thomas, have assembled an exhibit focusing on aspects of the production of multiple potteries and potting families along the Merrimack River, primarily from the periods of the eighteenth-century prior to the Revolutionary War to the mid-nineteenth century, with outlying examples in both style and material, including examples from the early twentieth century. This exhibition will be of considerable interest to the residents of the Merrimack region, ceramics collectors, and historians and history enthusiasts with an interest in the role of domestic production at the dawn of the United States. This type of exhibition is a first for the Custom House, bringing together collections, archeological specimens, and other intact surviving objects for display and contextualization. Many of these pieces are returning to the Newburyport area after upwards of two centuries of absence from their place of creation on the banks of the Merrimack River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana} At the height of the Arts and Crafts era in Europe and the United States, American ceramics were transformed from industrially produced ornamental works to handcrafted art pottery. Celebrated ceramists such as George E. Ohr, Hugh C. Robertson, and M. Louise McLaughlin, and prize-winning potteries, including Grueby and Rookwood, harnessed the potential of the medium to create an astonishing range of dynamic forms and experimental glazes. Spanning the period from the 1870s to the 1950s, this volume chronicles the history of American art pottery through more than three hundred works in the outstanding collection of Robert A. Ellison Jr. In a series of fascinating chapters, the authors place these works in the context of turn-of-the-century commerce, design, and social history. Driven to innovate and at times fiercely competitive, some ceramists strove to discover and patent new styles and aesthetics, while others pursued more utopian aims, establishing artist communities that promoted education and handwork as therapy. Written by a team of esteemed scholars and copiously illustrated with sumptuous images, this book imparts a full understanding of American art pottery while celebrating the legacy of a visionary collector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...one of the most friendly, easygoing and instructive books on the design movement' Chicago Tribune Arts & Crafts is one of the most influential design movements of all time, beginning in the late 19th century and still being explored by designers today. The Arts & Crafts ethos - rejecting mass production and industrialization in favour of individualism, simplicity, honest craftsmanship, respect for materials and good design - had a massive impact on the design of the early 20th century and transformed design sensibilities globally. This invaluable guide covers furniture, ceramics, silver and metalware, glass, textiles, jewellery, books and posters, and includes fascinating profiles of key designers such as William Morris, the Stickleys, Liberty & Co, Tiffany Studios, George Ohr, Rookwood and many more. It comes with a pictorial design directory, price ranges and a wealth of essential information for collectors and anyone wishing to follow William Morris's golden rule of Arts & Crafts: 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.'
