CLAY: A HUMAN HISTORY (PB)

Clay is baked into our culture: we have been taking handfuls of earth and forming them into their own image since our history began. Here, Jennifer Lucy Allan navigates the story of humankind and our relationship to making and creativity through our relationship with this enigmatic, ancient material. Born out of a desire to know and understand the spiritual and practical applications of clay in both its micro and macro histories, this book is a hybrid of archaeology, history and lived experience as an amateur potter.
