The American University In Cairo

Fayoum Pottery offers a comprehensive insight into the fascinating world of pottery in the Fayoum region of Egypt. This non-fiction book, published in 2021, is richly illustrated with over 250 color photographs that document the unique designs and rare techniques of local pottery art. The Fayoum region, known for its fertile fields and historical remains, is home to three different pottery centers, each maintaining its own traditions and styles. Readers will learn about the skills of the potters in Kom Oshim, known for their decorated garden pots, as well as the centuries-old techniques preserved in al-Nazla. Additionally, the transformation of the small village of Tunis through the establishment of a pottery school, which has led to the creation of numerous workshops, is discussed. This book is not only a visual delight but also a valuable resource for anyone interested in craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
