CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Like watching paint dry - 
Had to have been written by someone who writes text books. For a tech manual it is extremely boring. Has the basics from beginning to end. Recipes for glazes are dated as most are lead based, but it's an old book. I paid .18 cents for and it was worth that. My other books I purchased were newer and a better investment. I find it hard to believe that the asking price for the newest version of this book would worth it. Most of the information I was looking for was nothing more than a general overview.
If you get this book don't spend a bunch on it.....it's Ok at best
The Practical Potter..Josie Warshaw was not a better overview, but it was a more interesting read, and what is not contained in the book can be looked up on the web.
After the reviews I had seen on this book. I am very disappointed. There are better books available, look around.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Pottery -
Great condition and most helpful for my university pottery class. No reason to purchase university book store prices when you can find your books here.
Great Book for students -
I use this book with my beginning students. It is rare that I read a ceramics book and find no significant problems. It is well written and full of information and good illustrations. I recommend it highly.
Epiphany and resurrection of an venerable important text -
I have 3 (including editions 1 & 5) of this ground breaking text by Glen C Nelson. It seems the driving force behind this new and spectacular presentation of edition 6 is Richard Burkett. His fingerprints are all over the glaze section among others. This volume is a MUST HAVE AT ALL COSTS for any novice and master potter alike. I now have a new "Bible" for my studio. Special thanks to Glen Nelson who has inspired millions of us with his dynamite dedication to teaching and setting a stellar height of perfection to our craft. He is a living legend in my mind and soul.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Wow! -
One of my all-time favorite references. I really love this book. It was a "suggested reading" in my pottery class, and I am very glad I purchased it. I'm an artist that is just as much about researching and understanding as I am about the actual doing and studio side of my work. This book is a treat and I highly recommend it.
