A visual celebration of the contributions, presence, and experiences of 38 Black artists who are part of the contemporary clay community Readers will gain a deeper knowledge of 38 of today's top African American artists in clay, the earlier Black artists who paved their paths, and how their work fits into the 21st-century conversation. Authors Donald A Clark and Chotsani Elaine Dean begin by grounding us in history and context taking us from the colonial era of South Carolina to the Harlem Renaissance to today.  This book features an introduction and an interview with each artist plus more than 300 stunning photos of their work. Sharing their insights in compelling interviews, today’s Black ceramists demonstrate a diversity of studio practices and ways of using clay, ranging from new artists to the medium, to the more experienced, and producing everything from tableware to sculpture.  Contemporary Black American Ceramic Artists is a long overdue deeper look at Black makers, their work, and how it fits in the 21st-century art conversation.
