Listen to a conversation with Alice North and Louise Allison Cort as they present a new book, Listening to Clay: Conversations with Contemporary Japanese Ceramic Artists, by Alice North, Halsey North and Louise Allison Cort. The book tells the stories of 16 revered Japanese ceramic artists in their own words. Now, sharing their stories for the first time in this groundbreaking volume, they not only describe their unique processes, inspirations and relationships with clay, but together trace a seismic cultural shift through a field in which centuries-old but exclusionary potting traditions opened to new practitioners and kinds of practices.

PLP provided image research and worked with the authors to complete the licensing process for this fascinating book on Japanese ceramics.
