<p>ABOUT THE STUDIO POTTER</p>
<p>Published twice a year, <span>THE STUDIO POTTER</span> has been the independent voice of ceramics since 1972. Based in first- person narrative and studio practice, the journal has fostered thoughtful writing</p>
<p>on such themes as the environment, criticism, tech- nology, ceramic history, and education. Athough SP has published scholarly articles, it is aimed at the curious general reader rather than an academic audience.</p>

<p>Each issue of <span>THE STUDIO POTTER</span> is 96 pages, of which approximately 90 contain text and images pertaining to the theme. Typically there are 20–25 articles of varying lengths in each issue. The journal has always been characterized by a lively mix of written and visual content; the design of each issue is unique and reflects the theme.</p>
