Welcome to the Ceramic Arts Yearbook! This publication, supplied as a supplement to all Ceramics Monthly and Pottery Making Illustrated subscribers, looks back over the past year and highlights the clay events and people that have made news in the ceramic art field. The Ceramic Arts Yearbook also showcases the latest in ceramics books and podcasts, updates to facilities, and the Artist of the Year.
 
We hope that the yearbook serves as a resource you’ll want to read right away and also keep on hand both for its timeliness and its timelessness. Be sure to drop us a line and tell us what you think—we’d love to hear.
—Katie Reaver, Editor, Ceramics Monthly, and Holly Goring, Managing Editor, Pottery Making Illustrated.
