The ceramics of Phil Rogers have an understated elegance and his decoration is never overly elaborate or superfluous. He is content to work within the larger world tradition of producing solid, well-made vessels that bear a more subtle mark of creativity than the idiosyncratic works of more overtly individualistic ceramists. Rogers has made his mark with an integrated approach to ceramic art: clay, form, glaze, and decoration all combining to create a harmonious whole. Through his unique combination of solid materials, inspired design, and individual character, Phil Rogers is creating his own tradition of ceramics. This book, with an in-depth interview with the artist, and full- color illustrations throughout, will allow the reader to appreciate the historical context and profound beauty of contemporary fine art pottery.
