The Spirit of Creativity

Ceramic artists, especially those involved with Raku firing, are probably already familiar with Robert Piepenburg. Many of us have at least one of his books, most likely either 'Spirit of Clay' or 'Raku', on our shelves already. This book is an exploration of the connections between our psyche/spirit and our creativity, written for anyone interested in fostering their creativity. The book references, and even quotes from, the 'Spirit of Clay' in a number of places, but it is more of a sequel than a re-write and is a wonderful resource for artists no matter what their chosen form of expression. Don't let the references to spirit and spirituality fool you. This is a book about your internal flames and sparks, not one devoted to any single picture of divinity or, as was the case with 'The Artist's Way', a specific religious dogma.
