Edith Heath: Philosophies

We are excited to share a new comprehensive review of Edith’s philosophical foundations and influences published by the Environmental Design Archives, University of California Berkeley. This book features a visually dynamic historical timeline of Heath’s life and career, a history of products and dinnerware glazes, and a collection of essays contributed by historians and designers. All told with more than 340 rarely seen photographs and documents. Edith Heath's vision permeates everything we do and have done since she started the company in 1948. Join us in celebrating the legacy of our founder and one of the most important figures of postwar design history.

Overheard

A Printed Treasure

“Thanks to the EDA’s tremendous resources, and the lenses of Jennifer Volland and Chris Marino, as well as the other dedicated contributors, we’re granted a referenceable foundation that brings new understanding of Edith’s life and work. While we’ve lived among stories and artifacts for many years, this book puts forth her legacy in a way no one has seen before.”

– Catherine Bailey, co-owner of Heath Ceramics
