Synopsis
Written for the general reader with an interest in ceramics, HANDBUILT CERAMICS is a big, colorful, and complete how-to manual for shaping clay without a potter's wheel, as well as a color gallery of hand-built work by some of today's best ceramicists. 400 color photos.

Reviews
For those who equate pottery with the finely turned symmetrical products of the potter's wheel or the slip mold, the creative variety of hand-built ceramics is truly astonishing. Triplett offers a guide to basic techniques, from pinch pots to slapwork, with color illustrations of tools and techniques and instructions for eight projects of planters and pitchers. Tending toward the colorful and whimsical, these projects are a delight to see, but their placement cuts into the practicality of the book; the instructional illustrations almost get lost in the profusion of pictures. Still, this is a good guide overall to the topic.
