Scorched Earth: 100 Years Of Southern African Potteries Scorched Earth is the first comprehensive history of fine art pottery in southern Africa, with a focus on pioneer ceramic studios and workshops. This encyclopedic revisionist history of an often overlooked sector of the South African art and design world explores the work of 30 potteries that produced high-quality ceramic wares from 1900 to 1980. The book is the definitive history of southern African ceramics, giving voice to many artists whose work is little known in the wider art world. It contains over 300 photographs, a comprehensive list of studios, workshops and potters, makers marks, and a wide-ranging essay on the history of this art form in southern Africa.   About the author Wendy Gers is a former curator at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and now lectures at lEcole Suprieure dArt et de Design de Valenciennes, France.
