📙 I just discovered the Ceramic Literacy Bookclub, a fantastic project curated by Bridget Fairbank. Each month, she invites artists and creative minds to discuss a book about ceramics. This month, it’s The Art of The Future: 14 Essays on Ceramics by Paul Mathieu. If you’d like updates on this, join Bridget’s newsletter.
