This 1960 Museum of Modern Art title, How to Make Pottery and Ceramic Sculpture: 20 Graded Projects, is one of the more appealing practical craft books from MoMA’s educational publishing program. Written by Julia Hamlin Duncan in collaboration with Victor D’Amico, it reflects the museum’s broader effort to make modern art and design education accessible to beginners, schools, and home makers. Bibliographic records identify this edition as a 1960 MoMA publication of 95 pages.
This copy is complete and in very good condition overall, with a sound interior and an attractive original cover despite normal wear from age and use.
What makes it appealing:
collectible 1960 MoMA issue
strong pottery and ceramic sculpture content
desirable Art for Beginners Series title
attractive mid-century graphic design
nice crossover for art teachers, potters, and design-book collectors
Condition is very good vintage overall, with cover wear, rubbing, and spine wear, but a clean interior. A prior owner signature or inscription is present.
After 5 decades in this industry, and with me now vintage too, I still appreciate books that are both visually attractive and genuinely useful. This one has both qualities.
