    REVIEWS of PREVIOUS EDITIONS

    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
