Ceramics and Print Book:

Paul is well known for his research into ceramics and print. His book Ceramics and Print first published in 1994 by A&C Black was the first to examine the synthesis of print and clay, and explores the basic concepts and methodologies involved.

What they said about it…..

The recognition of print techniques as an integral part of current studio practice is largely due to Scott’s campaigning. Ceramics in Society magazine No 37 1999, p 6.

A valuable addition to the technical literature on Ceramic Art Review of Ceramics and Print for University of Pennsylvannia Press 1995.

The fundamental strength of Scott’s book lies in the detail and diversity of current print possibilities.... A welcome addition to the potters library. Emmanuel Cooper, Crafts Magazine May/June 1995.

For the printmaker, the book offers a rich potential for developing the 3D print and facilitates the popular trend for the one off print. Review, Printmaking Today Vol 4, No1 1995.

Paul Scott’s Ceramics and Print (A&C Black 1994) has been a significant manual and Scott an important figure in giving new credibility and forcefulness to the ceramist exploring the printed image - Ceramic Review 188 March/April 2001 P39.

A seminal text within its field, the revised and extended version of Ceramics and Print builds further upon the ground-breaking precedent it set down upon its initial publication. Originally demonstrating the use of paper, clay and printing within studio ceramics, Scott now embraces the information age that is the 21stC, detailing the most recent technological developments in this stimulating area, covering photocopiers, laser decals, flexography and digital techniques within ceramics today. Incorporating a number of high resolution images selected from old and new methods, Scott re-situates the area of ceramics within contemporary culture
