you need to own this book - By: serenemoon, 14 Sep 2007
I have been fortunate enough to meet with Carolyn Genders & watch her work, she is an inspiration & loves sharing her way of working. Carolyn's book is simply a must have for anyone interested in making ceramics it encourages you to look at things around you in a different way, & by documenting anything that takes your fancy or catches your eye carolyn's book shows how to use that in your work by example. her photographs & sketchs are amazing, if you get a chance to meet with her in person & do a workshop you will be amazed at what she will encourage in you. this is a beautiful well thought out book which will inspire any artist who owns it.
A Great Source - By: K GOODALL, 19 Feb 2003
This is not only a great source of inspiration for artists but also a fantastic eye opener & education for those who want to be enthused by every day life. It is a "must have" for anyone who is looking but not seeing what they are looking at.
Personallly my favorite part of the book refers to reflections. In every lake, pond, puddle & sink of water I now see the reflections that Carolyn refers to as full of mystery & promise, & understand the atmosphere & moods that are created by the mirror image. How these are then transfered onto the beautiful pots in her work is fascinating.
A clever combination of Carolyn Genders inspiration for her work & also her obvious passion for life makes this book a one off & I would recommend it to anyone from any walk of life.
