Readers will learn how to set up a ceramics studio, make cool gifts and family heirlooms, and fashion their wildest dreams from a simple lump of clay.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Minimal help to throwing instructor - 
I purchased this book because I was preparing to teach young teens how to throw on the wheel. Based on Amazon reviews, I was expecting something special. I was very disappointed. There are at best one or two suggestions that are useful but they do not justify buying this book. Anybody with wheel experience and some teaching experience will do fine without it.

Fun for kids! -
I can't wait to start using this book! If you like doing crafts with kids, this is a great book. Many projects, all very easy and each one teaches a different form of handbuilding, and one chapter covers throwing. I found the projects very cute and easy!
Great for Beginners -
This is a great book for people who really don't know anything about Clay and want to explore ceramics with their children. It gives enough background and technical information that projects can be successful, but not too much to be overwhelming. Nice very basic information about wedging clay, slab, coil and pinch techniques, and some decorative ideas.
If you already know a little about clay, however, this book is not likely to add much. If you've taken ceramics in college or a community art center, save your money and just grab your kids, a hunk of clay and have some fun!
As Bob Pittman at the Towson State Ceramics Department always said, "Clay is the Way"!
great resource and idea promoter! -
I love this book, as an elementary art teacher I love reading things that are inspiring and that promote creativity in my students without presenting everything step by step. I like the direction of how to put things together and technical items discussed...and the encouragement to take it from there! Great resource for ideas.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Great ceramic ideas for kids -
This book really had some great ideas for kids of all ages to build clay projects. The projects are varied, creative and start from very simple projects for little hands - up to more challenging projects for older children. I recommend.
