"Pueblo artists have attained an excellence in form and design comparable to that seen in pottery made throughout the world, even though they work without the aid of such mechanical devices as the potter's wheel or the mold.

Generations in Clay, with its clear, concise text and over one hundred and fifty well-defined color and black-and-white photographs, serves to acquaint the lay reader with a significant art heritage." -- Back cover
