CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Slab-Built Ceramics -
Book shows what can be done with large scale ceramics. Is a good jumping off point in helping someone who is learning to open up their creative thinking about what can be done with clay.

, simply quality bar stools
Slab-built Ceramics - 
For those who are practicing ceramic artists, this book would serve as a terrific resource for exploration in unique slab-building techniques. Featured techniques are explained,most w/firing details. Unfortunately, some of us do not have access to the wondrous availabilities the artists employed (woodfiring, large kilns, etc). Photos are great, inspiring, and motivating! Many familiar names in the book as well.
great book for handbuilders -
As a handbuilder, I am always interested in how others construct their works, but many handbuilding books seem to cover the same basics again and again. Not this one! This is the book I have been dreaming of -- great color pictures of a number of potters' works with information on precisely how many of the results were obtained. I wish there were more books like this on the market!
Great Book -
This book is a wonderful addition to any ceramic library. It is well laid out and has many beautiful photographs. It is well written and easy to understand. It covers both functional and sculptural forms in a thorough manner. This book is good for experienced ceramic artists as well as beginners. A lovely little gem.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
