CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Not What I Expected -
I was looking for new techniques. I didn't like what was shown. More organic than I like.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Not detailed enough, too abstract -
This is a great book for ideas for unusual and creative items to build. Is is NOT a great book for techniques for the average beginner. There is not enough detail as to the actual techiniques. It is a better book for an experienced artisan than for beginners.
If you can dream it, you can make it -
Opens the door to endless possabilities, limitied only by the mind. With a few basic procedures of building, anything is possable.
Great Photos-Projects are a little too artsy -
I am just beginning to explore clay and so I got this book for myself and for the students in my store who take classes. The techniques are illustrated very well. The directions very clear and photos are great. The only complaint I have is that the projects are a bit out there for me. I mean I'd like to build a great mug, a plate, maybe some platters or something, but some of the wild sculptures are not for me.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Refresher on clay building, must get -
Hi
I got this book to help me to refresh my clay work. I have done work for yours and have been away from it for a long time now. With grand kids wanting to do the clay now I wanted a book help with the small things I have forgot. It is a great book for that and lot more. All of my tips I knew came rushing back after going though it. I even plan on getting all of his books on Clay.
They really well done and full of great info on clay work. Some I did not even know from back years ago when I was doing clay a lot.
I would say if you want to work with clay this would be the book for you.
