Paul Henry Devoti Books

I have two books that document my thirty year career.

The first: San Juan de los Platos - History, Pottery & Potters of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua (Click for Amazon Link)

This book describes the first 22 years of my career.  Where my initiation to the area as a Peace Corps Volunteer is the introduction the base of the book is the widely undocumented cultural history of the Central American region now known as Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

The book continues to describe the San Juan de Oriente pueblo as it was over the past 100 years arriving to the recapturing of the pottery tradition and the emergence of a modern pottery movement by new generation of artists

Over 100 pictures and personal history and interactions make this book an authority on the subject of Nicaragua's cultural past and particularly the history and potters of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua.

Atlantis Studio - Creating my Ceramic Art Studio in San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua by Paul Henry Devoti (link to Amazon)

My second book describes the process of creating Atlantis Ceramic Art Studio in the house I built in San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua about 22 years after arriving there as a Peace Corps Volunteer.

Full of images of finished works to detailed pictures and descriptions of the rare cultural process of creating the work the Atlantis Studio book is most closely related to the artwork I create today.
