Charles Fergus Binns, who trained at the Royal Worcester works and became first director of the New York State School of Clay-Working and Ceramics at Alfred, wrote this guide for the independent potter. He covers applied art, earthenware and porcelain, the nature and preparation of clay, throwing and turning on the wheel, glazes and firing, with a chapter on clay-working for children.
