This book is in two parts, the first explains the method of working and the second is a glossary. Very few art schools teach this method and the old way of learning is finished. You cannot start at 13 years old working and learn this specialty in a factory. You learn to paint and draw with a brush by decorating hundreds of plates and jars.
