Firing by David Jones
The firing of clay is one of the most significant developments in the history of humankind. It is a technological advance, now taken so much for granted, that many have forgotten the ancient power that fire and change exercised over the lives of our ancestors and their imaginations. This book is an attempt to redress that balance by investigating the place of firing in a contemporary context of myth, poetics, philosophy and technology.
David Jones graduated from the University of Warwick in Philosophy and Literature. He turned to ceramics when he realised there were no real jobs for philosophers. His ceramics have been exhibited internationally for the past twenty-five years. He is a senior academic in the Ceramics Department at the University of Wolverhampton, and acknowledges their support, and that of Arts Council England, in writing and researching this book. He is a fellow of the Crafts Potters Association of Great Britain. Resident - Warwickshire
