Published by Xlibris Corporation, this 54-page, full-color book, written
by Blaka Y. Abee of Connelly Springs, N.C., is a newly-released young reader's
picture book that shows in deep detail the complete process of making
traditional pottery using methods 19th Century Catawba Valley potters used. The
book includes vivid photos of the process including hand-digging and preparing
local clay, turning, glazing, firing in a ground hog kiln and selling of wares
at a kiln opening. Written from the perspective of a youngster as he watches his
dad make pottery, this book gives readers valuable information that will be
helpful to not only elementary and middle-school teachers and their students,
but also to pottery enthusiasts of all ages. It would also be an artistic
addition to a coffee table display.
