Average Customer Ratings:
The author tells you everything you need to know to make attractive, functional earthenware in this fine book. More than sixty photographs show each step described as well as many finished items. These, plus descriptions of ancient pottery types from the Anasazi to Guatemala, provide a great number of ideas for primitive pottery projects. There is a glossary of terms and a list of references.
Evard starts by describing what clay is used and how to find it. He then describes preparing the clay for use, discusses reasons and techniques for adding temper and illustrates how to make pots using all techniques. Finishing and decorating the green pot are described and illustrated, followed by a detailed discussion of primitive firing techniques. Evard then tells how to cook a meal outdoors in a pot you have made yourself. A great book for anyone into primitive arts or survival skills.

Good book for novice primitive pottery makers -
I never previously attempted any pottery creations and had no idea where to start. This book pointed me in the right direction and gave me confidence that even a beginner might make pottery pieces. Following directions I dug clay from my property, tempered it, made the pottery and pit-fired it. It actually turned our reasonably well for a first attempt. An easy to read and follow beginners guide. Well worth the price!
not too exciting -
i have been hanbuilding and pit-firing pottery for a number of years and was not particularly impressed with this book. it might be a good source of information for beginners but it is not at all inspiring or even visually appealing. there are several other books about the techniques involved in this type of pottery production that folks should take a look at first.
