In "Origin and Development of Form and Ornament in Ceramic Art," William Henry Holmes meticulously examines the evolution of ceramics, uncovering the interplay between form and decorative elements throughout history. Holmes employs a comparative approach, juxtaposing various cultures and periods, and is adept at blending scientific analysis with aesthetic appreciation. The text is richly illustrated, allowing readers to visualize the intricate designs that reflect not just artistic sensibilities, but also social and technological advances in ceramic production. This book stands as a cornerstone in the field of art history, influencing how we perceive the relationship between function and ornamentation in decorative arts. William Henry Holmes was a pivotal figure in American archaeology and art history during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His extensive fieldwork and scholarly pursuits provided him with firsthand insight into the artistic traditions of Native American cultures. Holmess blend of scientific rigor and artistic sensibility in his writing reflects his belief that understanding the origins of art helps illuminate the cultural narratives of societies. His experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for the symbiotic relationship between form and ornamentation. I highly recommend this book to both art historians and general readers interested in understanding the significance of ceramics as an art form. Holmess scholarship not only enriches our comprehension of cultural development but also invites contemplation on the broader implications of creative expression across civilizations. This work is essential for anyone keen to explore the intersection of art, history, and culture.In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience:- A succinct Introduction situates the works timeless appeal and themes.- The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists.- A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the eras events and influences that shaped the writing.- A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings.- Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the works messages, connecting them to modern life.- Handpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.- Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.

The present volume on Glass Manufacture has been written chiefly for the benefit of those who are users of glass, and therefore makes no claim to be an adequate guide or help to those engaged in glass manufacture itself. For this reason the account of manufacturing processes has been kept as non-technical as possible; no detailed drawings of plant or appliances have been given, and only a few illustrative diagrams have been introduced for the purpose of avoiding lengthy verbal descriptions. In describing each process the object in view has been to give an insight into the rationale of each step, so far as it is known or understood, and thus to indicate the possibilities and limitations of the process and of its resulting products rather than to provide a detailed guide to the technique of the various operations. The practical aim of the book has further been safeguarded by the fact that the processes described in these pages are, with the exception of those described as obsolete, to the authors definite knowledge, in commercial use at the present time. For this reason many apparently ingenious and beautiful processes described in earlier books on glass have not been mentioned here, since the author could find no trace of their employment beyond the records of the various patents involved. On the other hand the readervi must be warned to bear in mind that the peculiar conditions of the glass manufacturing industry have led to the practice on the part of manufacturers of keeping their processes as secret as possible, so that the task of the author who would give an accurate account of the best modern processes used in any given department of the industry is beset with great difficulties. The author has endeavoured to steer the best course open to him under these circumstances, and he would appeal to the paucity of glass literature in the English language as evidence of the difficulty to which he refers.

Glass casting is an exciting and versatile process involving chunks of molten glass melted into a mould, where it solidifies. This practical book explains the glass casting process, from the initial search for inspiration through to simple and then more complex casting.

Topics covered include: advice on kilns and studio equipment; step-by-step projects in open casting, lost-wax casting, part-mould making, burn-out moulds and core casting; ideas for experimentation to increase the scale of your work, explore surface pattern and use other materials; instruction on de-moulding and finishing, and further tips on reusing materials in the studio. Of great interest to glass designers, glass blowers, craftsmen, jewellers, sculptors and interior designers, it is superbly illustrated with 184 colour photographs. Amy Whittingham is a glass artist and sculpture who specializes in mouldmaking.

La obra estudia la organización como una realidad compleja, por los cambios imprevistos en su contexto, la diversidad interna y las consecuencias disfuncionales de las propias decisiones directivas. Una realidad donde coexisten la razon y la sinrazon, el orden y el desorden, la objetividad y la subjetividad, la competencia y la colaboracion. En lo interno, hay complejidad en los objetivos multiples, los juegos de poder, las subculturas, las diferencias de significacion, el exagerado peso de la eficacia por sobre los valores eticos. En lo externo, influye la incertidumbre, la aceleracion del cambio y la adversidad, como tambien la emergencia de nuevos escenarios y oportunidades impensadas. Lo complejo no es solo al impacto de los cambios en el plano tecnologico. Tambien afecta lo humano, por la duda y ansiedad que generan la ambivalencia en las comunicaciones y la relacion laboral inestable.

Espying Heaven presents the first full-scale and full-colour survey of the achievement of Charles Eamer Kempe (1837-1907), the outstanding stained-glass designer of his era, and his Studio. From the start, Kempe gathered around him a close-knit team of artists and craftsmen who together developed his vision of a distinctive aesthetic setting for worship based on late medieval art, especially the stained glass of northern Europe. Espying Heaven illustrates the evolution of the Kempe style and allows readers to judge for themselves the extent to which the later firm of C.E. Kempe & Co. (1907- 1934), set up by Kempe himself, succeeded in working within the tradition established by his founding artists. This book is meant to be a companion to Adrian Barlows biographical study, Kempe: the Life, Art and Legacy of Charles Eamer Kempe (2018). In its own right, Espying Heaven both documents and celebrates a style of church art and decoration that has had a defining influence upon the Anglican Church worldwide. It highlights key features of Kempe glass, exploring questions of representation, symbolism and technique and suggesting new ways of reading a Kempe window.
