Product Description The Earth has Three Colors is an illustrated book about Moroccan ceramics, both the past, the present and the future. The title refers to the fact that red, grey and white clay have all been used at different times in Morocco. The book has ten chapters, covering different major areas of ceramic activity, some well-known and some less so. It is a lavishly illustrated, hardbound art book with museum quality images of the ceramics, photographs of studios and hand drawn maps by the author: think intelligent but not dry, sexy and stylish. It is written in English and French and will appeal to a broad range of readers, those who know about ceramics and those who want to know more, ranging from the traditional to the contemporary, from the prehistoric to the sophisticated. About the Author David Packer was born in England and has lived in the United States since 1983, including Miami and New York.
