As a fan of ceramic tile, I bought this book in preparation for an upcoming vacation in San Antonio. First, the quality --the photographs, paper, etc --is extraordinary. The author is obviously extremely knowledgeable and her passion comes through making for enjoyable reading. It is a mix of art, history including the tile workshops role in the WPA and YPA (youth), one woman's story (the founder of the tile workshops) and the story of San Antonio. A coffee table size book, I lugged it with me on our vacation and had no regrets. My goal was to search San Antonio like on an Easter Egg Hunt to find some of the murals and we did! The very first night's walk on the Riverwalk we actually stumbled upon one, just a few yards from where we were having dinner, giving me enough gratification to continue on the search. Our next hunt was for a historic hotel that had one in its courtyard, followed by a trip to one of the mission's where the tile workers were moved to and where eventually the found had a house built adjacent to the mission grounds and lived. Unfortunately, that house is not open to the public but is used as Park Service offices. Hopefully, that will change someday. A must buy!--Pamela Vossenas
The book was a gift to a neighbor. Her picture was in it, and she was very happy to have it.
Fabulous interesting book. It is one of my favorites
This is a beautiful informative book written by someone who has studied and followed the subject to share with the rest of us the wonder of the San Jose Mission pottery - the inspiration, the making, the painting, and the final resting places. I was a novice concerning decorative tile and pottery but after reading this book, I feel I have a comfortable knowledge and appreciation of it's existence. You will enjoy the presentation, colors, and easy read of this book.
This book was far more than what I expected. The research, details, photography, and quality of book would only be expected in a book 5 times the cost. When I removed the dust jacket to put on a protective dust cover, I saw the actual cover of the book with a tipped on representation of a San Jose Tile. Absolutely 1st class through out. If this book ever goes out of print expect to find it only in the rare book section of antiquarian shops.
Ms. Frost has done a wonderful job of capturing the history and beauty of an artistic and entrepreneurial treasure from Southeast Texas.
Susan Frost's book is beautiful, a real gem for collectors and those interested in this type of whimsical tile work. Excellent research.
This book is stunning!Most collectors of folk art and ceramics want to know the provenance of the items which have inspired their passion, but often they can find nothing about the artisan behind the treasured piece. Frost has ensured that this will never be the case when it comes to San Jose pottery. In addition, she also explores the linkages the Texan potteries had with tile makers from both California and Mexico.This book is beautifully designed and presents vivid photographs of a wide variety of tiles and other objects produced by the various workshops. In addition, extensive historical and documentary materials (including sketches, drawings, old photographs and pages from old catalogs) are included. Collectors have a treasure trove of material to use in assessing their present collections or as they plan their next acquisition.Through the author's excellent narrative, the people behind the potteries come alive. Thus, the founder of three potteries (Mexican Arts and Crafts, San Jose Potteries, and Mission Crafts), Ethel Wilson Harris, artist Fernando Ramos and the others profiled in Frost's splendid work, will never fade into obscurity, as have other skilled crafts people who did not have the benefit of scholarship such as Frost's.This book is a real treat on many levels. It is a visual feast, an excellent resource book -- and a great read!
