the skill and art of working with clay, here comes a book all about making mealtimes more
elegant. Design and Create Contemporary Tableware: Making Pottery You Can Use is a
publication both useful and beautiful. Penned by two leading figures in the world of
contemporary ceramics, Linda Bloomfield and Sue Pryke (the latter a recent judge on the
programme), this is a book to inspire anyone to enter a studio, get hands on and create
their own stylish wares for the table.

30% OFF A NEW ARTS BOOK
In the history of art, tales of avant-garde styles brought to fresh shores by artist émigrés
are a constant. This new book – Surrealists in New York by Charles Darwent – takes one
such story as its focus. A group biography, it explores how artists (male and female)
fleeing war-torn France of World War II brought Surrealism to America. In doing so, they
shifted the centre of the art world from Paris to New York. In addition, their art deeply
influenced the work of figures such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko – a fact too long written out of art history.
• Visit thamesandhudson.com for 30% off the book (RRP £25), entering the code
‘Darwent30’ at checkout; this offer is valid from 16 March 2023.
