PREFACE
An art like pottery-making, which is nearly asold as the human race, is naturally approachedwith some degree of reverence. One thinks of itsold masters in various lands and ages—how theywere content to spend a lifetime in the studyand practice of it.
There is, however, another thought that comesto mind—that this art, like every other, had tohave its beginning. Moreover, every potter, fromthe primitive man who first realised that claywhich held water could be moulded into portablevessels for a like purpose, to the artist potter ofto-day, has learned the first steps of the craft.
It was this thought that encouraged me tostudy the beginnings of pottery, and that leadsme to offer this book to those who would alsostart clay-working, with no other qualificationthan the wish to learn how to make pottery.
