Vessels: A Conversation in Porcelain and Poetry Hardcover – June 28, 2017

This is a beautiful book with exquisite ceramics.

Jennifer McCurdy's ceramic work is beautiful and graceful. Her book is an excellent way to see many beautifully photographed pieces. And she describes how she creates these pieces...a seemingly impossible combination of artistry and craftsmanship.A significant bonus is the poetry created my her sister, Wendy Mulhern, found throughout the book. Not surprising how the poetry matches the ceramic pieces.The book is excellent for the many collectors of Jennifer's work as well as ceramic artists.

This book is a treasure times 2 magnified by your own ability to see the beauty of poetry. Poetry which is illustrated so masterfully with carefully selected porcelain masterpieces - a collaboration that will blow you away. Take the time to read the introduction - it sets the stage for pages that follow. I read from this book often, read and re-read the poems - each one opening my mind, exploring my thoughts, and heightening my sensitivity - it becomes a collaborative piece of the two sisters and the reader. I loved the book so much - it touched me so deeply and so completely, I had to buy it for 10 of my closest friends - I will no doubt buy more.

Exquisite! Such quality, thought, creativity, charm and fresh. Each page brings new delight. Loved the Part two going inside how the art was created. I've shown my book to many who are ordering it.

Love it!

I thorughly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it.

The entrancing shapes lure you in, and you are soon caught up in the interplay of pottery and poetry that take the overarching theme of "vessels" and construct a rich world of words and visuals about community, spirit, life, and love. This book is a source of calm and inspiration. Each time I pick it up, I come away with the rich reward that only artists who love to share their art can offer.

Beautiful book with great coordination of pottery and poetry
