Average Customer Ratings:
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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Excellent pottery book -
This book is inspirational and very instructive. The photographic frames make the understanding of how each piece is built very helpful. For anyone just getting into pottery or instructing pottery.....it is a must have.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
No wheel, no kiln? No problem! -
If you're a frustrated potter, with no wheel, no kiln, no tools and no room...lift yourself out of your depression. All you need is a few pounds of polymer air-drying clay, a sink, and a table. Anything else you might need (a rolling pin to flatten the clay) you will probably find around the house. But before all that, you need to get this book! It is the clearest exposition of any artistic process I have ever read, and loaded with tons of crystal clear photographs. You will learn how to make pots, (large and small) bowls, garden sclpture, baskets, boxes with lids and much more. You also get all the decorating techniques as well.
Although the book was produced in England and deals with firing clay, the same procedures can be used with polymer air-drying clay. Polymer clay comes in several colors and can be fired as well (check the label). So, what are you waiting for? Now is the time to fulfill your lifelong dream. You too will be able to say: I can do that!
Great for the Intermediate-Level Potter -
This book includes many photos of the hand-building process and examples of finished products. It's really nice to look at and inspires me to add new techniques to my hand-built pieces.
Great ideas for the hands -
