Author Susan Toomey Frost tells the story of how two colorful characters, Ethel Wilson Harris and her talented designer Fernando Ramos, revived a dying Mexican art and eventually became the driving forces behind three San Antonio art tile factories, known collectively as the San Jos  Workshops. Produced from 1931 through 1977, the factories' tiles and wares became celebrated throughout the world and prized in San Antonio for both public and private installations. In addition to historical and biographical information, Frost provides detailed information on authentic tiles, helping collectors steer clear of the many reproductions on the market. Featuring 300 full-color illustrations, including never-before-seen drawings, this exhaustively researched and eminently readable book is an important addition to any collector's library.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Toomey Frost\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159534053X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595340535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trinity University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 10.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 243","brand":"Susan Toomey Frost","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985263296767,"sku":"9781595340535","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fd54aa9-64ee-4cfd-afd6-2e1b1740a87d.jpg?v=1683276525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colors-on-clay-susan-toomey-frost-9781595340535","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
