Alabama Folk Pottery

$69.87

DIV“A major addition to the study of southern pottery as well as Alabama history and art. I’m truly impressed with the extraordinary number of potters Brackner has uncovered and the wide range of evidence he uses to shed light on their achievements.” —Charles (Terry) Zug, author ofITurners and Burners: The Folk Potters of North Carolina/I       /divDIV“IAlabama Folk Pottery/Ishould quickly become a classic. What especially excites me is that it fills a void in the bigger picture, allowing us to follow the migration of potters and, with them, the evolution of a regional ceramic tradition. At the same time, Brackner demonstrates how these migrations led to an identifiable Alabama pottery tradition.” —John Burrison, author ofIBrothers in Clay: The Story of Georgia Folk Pottery/I/div
