内容简介

One day in 1882, Thomas Edison flipped a switch that lit up lower Manhattan with incandescent light and changed the way people live ever after. The electric light bulb was only one of thousands of Edison's inventions, which include the phonograph and the kinetoscope, an early precursor to the movie camera. As a boy, observing a robin catch a worm and then take flight, he fed a playmate a mixture of worms and water to see if she could fly! Here's an accessible, appealing biography with 100 black-and-white illustrations.

WORKING PRACTICE AND APPROACH.
As a young art student at Bolton College of Art I was eager to work with clay. The enthusiasm and dedication of the pottery lecturer there, L.F. Matthews, gave me an insight into 'the craft of the potter' and set me on a course of learning, research and experiment from which I have never wanted to deviate.

Stoke-on-Trent School of Art under Derek Emms introduced me to working with reduction fired stoneware of the Eastern tradition. At this time I met David and together we started to lay the foundation for the establishment of our workshop which we have had now for thirty five years.

The early years of domestic production throwing were invaluable as a foundation for the work that I do now and I look back with great respect to the struggles that we overcame and the insight that was gained into the nature of clays, glazes and form. As our two boys Daniel and Gregor grew up I was able to develop my own personal work more and explored my deep attachment to reduction porcelain.
Over the last few years much effort and experimentation has gone into the development of my own porcelain body with glazes to fit this low expansion body. The qualities of translucency and lightness sought, demand that it is potted quite finely and it takes time, care and patience. It fractures easily and needs skill in handling.

The smoothness of the porcelain body makes it ideal for carving, which I do particularly on open bowls and jars. These designs are mainly floral- I draw beforehand- but I like to work directly onto the clay without copying as I achieve a greater spontaneity and flow. Every imperfection shows on a pale blue celadon carved piece and the losses can be frustratingly high.Some of my work is heavily decorative achieved with the use of coloured glazes and pigments applied over a white base glaze. I may use wax to paint the initial design or mask out areas for overglazing with poured, painted or trailed glaze. Lately I have been experimenting with copper red glazes with their elusive appeal. They require careful control during the reduction firing as they tend to burn out easily. I am using them in combination with other heavy iron glazes achieving deep shades of purples, oranges and reds all intermingled.

A piece of soft maleable clay (specialist though it may be) nurtured through all its processes, then carefully placed in the fire and coached to orange heat never ceases to amaze at the opening of the kiln. A wonderful transformation into a structure which can last for thousands of years, this is the force, which drives me on!

[ZZ]写的的书都写得很好，[sm]还是朋友推荐我看的，后来就非非常喜欢，他的书了。除了他的书，我和我家小孩还喜欢看郑渊洁、杨红樱、黄晓阳、小桥老树、王永杰、杨其铎、晓玲叮当、方洲，他们的书我觉得都写得很好。[SM]，很值得看，价格也非常便宜，比实体店买便宜好多还省车费。 书的内容直得一读[BJTJ]，阅读了一下，写得很好，[NRJJ]，内容也很丰富。[QY]，一本书多读几次，[SZ]。 快递送货也很快。还送货上楼。非常好。 [SM]，超值。买书就来来京东商城。价格还比别家便宜，还免邮费不错，速度还真是快而且都是正版书。[BJTJ]，买回来觉得还是非常值的。我喜欢看书，喜欢看各种各样的书，看的很杂，文学名著，流行小说都看，只要作者的文笔不是太差，总能让我从头到脚看完整本书。只不过很多时候是当成故事来看，看完了感叹一番也就丢下了。所在来这里买书是非常明智的。然而，目前社会上还有许多人被一些价值不大的东西所束缚，却自得其乐，还觉得很满足。经过几百年的探索和发展，人们对物质需求已不再迫切，但对于精神自由的需求却无端被抹杀了。总之，我认为现代人最缺乏的就是一种开阔进取，寻找最大自由的精神。 中国人讲“虚实相生，天人合一”的思想，“于空寂处见流行，于流行处见空寂”，从而获得对于“道”的体悟，“唯道集虚”。这在传统的艺术中得到了充分的体现，因此中国古代的绘画，提倡“留白”、“布白”，用空白来表现丰富多彩的想象空间和广博深广的人生意味，体现了包纳万物、吞吐一切的胸襟和情怀。让我得到了一种生活情趣和审美方式，伴着笔墨的清香，细细体味，那自由孤寂的灵魂，高尚清真的人格魅力，在寻求美的道路上指引着我，让我抛弃浮躁的世俗，向美学丛林的深处迈进。合上书，闭上眼，书的余香犹存，而我脑海里浮现的，是一个“皎皎明月，仙仙白云，鸿雁高翔，缀叶如雨”的冲淡清幽境界。愿我们身边多一些主教般光明的使者，有更多人能加入到助人为乐、见义勇为的队伍中来。社会需要这样的人，世界需要这样的人，只有这样我们才能创造我们的生活，[NRJJ]希望下次还呢继续购买这里的书籍，这里的书籍很好，非常的不错，。给我带来了不错的现实享受。希望下次还呢继续购买这里的书籍，这里的书籍很好，非常的不错，。给我带来了不错的现实享受。
