'John Ward is a unique figure in the history of studio ceramics. This is the long awaited, insightful and beautiful monograph that illuminates the range and depth of his art. It will bring an even greater audience to appreciate his remarkable subtlety and strength.' - Edmund de Waal 'Carefully and thoughtfully produced, this insightful monograph is a must-have for admirers of Ward's work but a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in contemporary studio ceramics.' - Helen Ritchie, Decorative Arts Society
