This updated edition of the classic potter's how-to text--out of print for five years--covers every step of the clay-working process, from clay preparation to throwing on the wheel to making tiles, slipcasting, mixing, glazing, firing methods, and more. Over 450 color photos.

Review
Revised and updated, this classic potter's volume explains everything from preparation through firing, with stops along the way for detailed coverage of working on the wheel; coiled, slab, and pinch pots; mold making; slip casting; and glazing and decorating. The comprehensive text ranges from basic (wedging and kneading, beginning wheelwork) to advanced (spray glazing, raku firing). The no-frills design of the book packs almost too much information on a page, but the instructions are clear and thorough, the photos (more than 450, all in color) are straightforward and helpful, and the stunning examples of work by contemporary potters provide additional inspiration.
