About the Author

Miranda Forrest is a working ceramicist and graduate of the BA Honours degree at the Glasgow School of Art. Based on the beautiful and remote Outer Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland, she develops her glazes from locally collected ingredients and the surrounding environment inspires her work.

Reviews

This is a very personal account strongly illustrating the love Ms. Forrest has for her environment and her desire to incorporate this into her life and work. The book will be of interest to potters in general and also provide a very useful introduction to the techniques for anyone who wishes to work with found materials.
