Imagine making serving dishes perfectly suited to the food you're preparing--perhaps a cone-shaped bowl on a pedestal, filled with shrimp and corn, with the husks shooting up gracefully. What an impression this would make on your guests...and what a pleasure for your family to sit down to such a beautifully prepared table. With clay, and guidance by a best-selling author who's a real pro at ceramics, it's simple to hand-build stylish, customized tableware that's just like the pieces you covet in pricey galleries. Even beginners will easily follow the illustrated instructions for making slabs, extruding, molding, and more. Every seasonally themed project showcases a complete table setting, with a delicious extra in each--a teapot in one, a pitcher in another--and features a new technique to try out. For more creative inspiration, four top potters share detailed expertise in the special section on surface decoration: they'll reveal the reasons behind their stylistic choices and walk you through the entire process. And, if you're a "rebel" who likes to do it your own way, the book is simply packed with options for adapting and substituting!

Like Triplett's earlier Handbuilt Ceramics (LJ 10/15/97), this offering consists of whimsical ceramic pieces made from slabs and coils. The emphasis here is on creativity and distinctiveness. While the technical tips and step-by-step projects are for reasonably practical tableware, the gallery items would be fine for staging one's own Mad Tea Party. While not an essential purchase for ceramics collections, this book is full of ideas and would make a nice addition to a specialized collection.
