Description

Jamaica's Master Potter, a slice of art and Jamaican social history, written by Dr. Laura Tanna, who displays the same skill we first encountered in her Jamaican Folk Tales and Oral Histories, tells Cecil Baugh's inspiring story. In a life spanning the twentieth century, from a sawyer's son in Portland to the father of ceramics in modern Jamaica, Baugh continues to produce and motivate. Covering the major milestones in his career since the book's publications in 1986, this edition also includes an important new chapter, "The Baugh Legacy," which contains profiles and photographs of ten of Jamaica's leading potters, their work and their inheritance from the master. Award-winning American photographer Robert Kerns, author of Photography With A Purpose, sensitively documents Cecil Baugh's career, while new portraits by internationally acclaimed Maria LaYacona capture the artist in his ninetieth year. Over 150 black and white photographs trace his World War II years in Africa, studies with Bernard Leach - England's greatest studio potter - to Baugh's role in founding the Jamaica School of Art, his promotion of Louisa "Ma Lou" Jones and traditional Jamaican pottery, and his influence on an entire generation of Jamaican potters.
