Average Customer Ratings:
Professional studio potter Robin Hopper, drawing from nearly 50 years of experience, offers a wealth of ceramic surface decoration possibilities - some rarely ever exposed - in this brand new all-inclusive guide! The expansive range of techniques provided in Making Marks, together with the straightforward tips for successful use, is a formula guaranteeing remarkable results for potters, teachers, students, collectors, or anyone with an interest in ceramics.
From the fundamentals (basic approaches to drawing, color theory, glaze development, and spatial development) to the clay processes (decoration with tools, adding and removing marks, and use of liquid and color clays), and from the pigment processes (variables of colorants, brush, stamp, spray, and pencil marks, and resistance techniques) to the glazing and firing processes (glaze application methods, heat and flame, vapor and fume, and multiple fired surfaces), this guide contains everything readers want and need to know. Never has there been a more complete guide on decorative techniques for ceramic surfaces!

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
It's earned its 5 stars -
A wonderful resource for those with a working knowledge of pottery who are looking for ideas, information, and techniques. It skips over all of the basics and jumps right in - the information is well-organized, moving from the general (2-D art) to the specifics of 3-D art.

, simply quality bar stools
Making Marks gets high marks! -
Robin Hopper's Making Marks: Discovering he Ceramic Suface is an important source for contemporary clay workers. The text and illustrations are clear, concise and fun to read and use as guides to taking action with one's clay. I suggest it for all potters in search of techniques to use when treating the surfaces of the work.
making marks: Discovering the ceramic surface -
This is really the most extraordinary ceramics book that I have ever seen. I am so amazed at the quantity of ideas for surface treatment that I don't know where to begin and I can't wait to get started! An absolute MUST for anyone who needs ideas and a boost of enthusiasm, or for anyone who feels like they are getting bored or are just stuck in a ceramics rut. What a fun book!
Great gift for a potter. -
I purchased this book as a gift and it was absolutely perfect for an up and coming potter who has the building techniques down but would like to move to the next stage of creative pottery design.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Checking for stars! -
Hi,
I am the author of this book. The first review in the list of five gives a glowing report and yet rates only one star! I feel that this is a mistake. All the other reviews give the book five stars. This might be detrimentally affecting sales. I feel sure that the reviewer did not intend the single star rating with the review that he or she has given.
Perhaps you can check this out. Thanks
