Simon Pearce: Design for Living

By Glenn Suokko
With a foreword by Simon Pearce and a contribution by Margaret Downes

2016 · Rizzoli · Hardcover · 11 × 9 in · 288 pages · 350 photographs

This monograph traces four decades of Simon Pearce’s work, from his origins in rural Ireland to his establishment of a definitive American craft legacy. Through evocative photography and essays, I examine glass and clay as conduits for light and human connection. The design mirrors the tactile honesty of the work, honoring the artisans and the rhythmic rituals of the workshop.
