Terra Sigillata: Contemporary Techniques

Although the use of terra sigillata to color and seal wares is an ancient technique, it is still being actively explored and experimented with by today’s artists, and to great effect. In this comprehensive and beautifully illustrated book, Rhonda Willers looks at the history of terra sigillata and explores the ways contemporary artists are pushing the boundaries of creativity with this fascinating material. Reading this book will not only empower artists interested in exploring this material for the first time, it will also inspire artists who already work with it to continue to push the limits with terra sigillata!
