About the Book

A comprehensive textbook on ceramic technology and a chronicle of the developments made by the European Ceramic Work Centre.

The Ceramic Process is both a comprehensive textbook on ceramic technology and a chronicle of the developments made by the European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC) over the years. It is a practical book which helps you to look at materials, methods and equipment, using the results of various artists' projects for inspiration.

EKWC is internationally renowned as a centre where ceramic artists come for a period to experiment with new materials, methods and technologies. Their time there is funded and they are given the back-up of innovative technicians and materials to work with. Learn about the artists who have worked at the centre, including some of the top names in sculpture and ceramics from around the world: Neil Brownsword, Tony Cragg, Ewen Henderson, Jun Kaneko, Anish Kapoor, Kinpei Nakamura and Betty Woodman. Throughout the book, discover some spectacular results and how the new techniques and materials have been adopted by artists around the world.

About the Author :

The European Ceramic Work Centre, based in the Netherlands, is an international workplace where artists, designers and architects explore the technical and artistic possibilities of ceramics. The EKWC operates as an artist-in-residence centre and as a centre of excellence. Its aim is to promote the development of ceramic art, design and architecture.

Anton Reijnders graduated from the Fine art Academy in ‘s-Hertogenbosh in 1981. Since then, he has taken part in exhibitions throughout the world, contributed to conferences and symposia and given lectures in Europe, Asia, Australia and the USA. He has contributed to the creation of the European Ceramic Work Center ’s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands where, as head of studios and workshops, he has worked with international artists. He has been visiting professor at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and currently teaches at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (BFA) in Amsterdam.



Review :
Combines expert advice and information from many of the EKWC's tutors and may well be the new 'bible' for ceramic artists, amateurs and students. It is essential reading for everyone from beginners to experts. an impressive overview of techniques, recipes, and working processes used at the European Ceramic Workcentre in the Netherlands [...] The best part of this book is the color photographs throughout [...] There is probably no better guide to this period of large-scale ceramic sculpture in Europe, and for that alone, the book is worth it. There is also information on paper clay, large-scale plaster sculptures, and other adventurous approaches to clay, making this a useful resource for ceramic sculptors and designers [...] it is a unique book that does cover every part of working with clay. the tables and process illustrations are highly useful
