Product Description
Here are directions for many creative, fun-to-do pottery projects potters can follow to produce handsome finished objects without need of a potter's wheel. The author instructs in coil, slab, mold, and pinch techniques to produce pots, bowls, vases, tiles, and other decorative pieces. She also advises on acquiring basic tools, mixing and preparing clay, and using coloring agents. Newcomers to pottery crafting will especially appreciate her tips for making projects easier to accomplish, such as use of a hairdryer at regular intervals for drying out too-wet clay, and easy methods for keeping clay soft and pliable. Step-by-step color photos with detailed captions guide handcrafters through each project from start to finish. Many photos are of the cutaway type to show correct hand positions for controlling the clay, both inside and outside the form. Here's the book that takes the mystery out of handbuilding in clay, demonstrating each step in the pottery-making process. More than 400 color photos.

I had to get some books for my ceramic class. then I researched these from the internet and all kinds of bookstores. I ended up finding several books after that. This is one of best books giving us great information for handbuilding techniques. Especially for beginner!!!It also shows you how to make each project step by step. then finished one w/ expraination for glazing and other stuff. You will love it.

Not what I expected... I was looking for 'dinnerware' September 20, 2006
9 out of 15 found this review helpful

I purchased this book for 'dinnerware' ideas. But there were few of these items that are featured in this book. There are alot of 'artsy' or sculpture-like ceramics that are featured. If you want to know about handbuilding and working with molds, this is a great book for you.

Overall, I'd have to say that this book has alot of great information, great instructions, and pictures. But the information is not what I was looking for. I will keep it incase my interest changes to work more with the featured type of ceramics.

I love this book! A co-worker/co-potter friend had this book and after glancing through it I knew I had to have it. Many ideas for projects, detailed explanations, simple and fun to make projects. Great for teachers or if you just need some inspiration.

I bought this while taking a class on hand building. This was an excellent supplement and would recommend it to anyone learning hand building pottery. It has lots of great projects with step by step instructions.
