About this Item

Take a ball of clay in your hand. Roll it, punch it, squeeze itand feel the urge to create something from it. Try making a simple vase, then go on to a simple but decorative grouping of figures. Follow the concise instructions in this book and you will soon be taking pride in your own creative clay work. Before you know it, you will be making ashtrays, bowls and crocks, and decorating them with original and artistic designs. As you progress, you will turn to more complex things; in fact, to real sculptureactual forms of people and animals will take shape under your hands. The book's many exciting photographs may even inspire you to try to copy and, a little later, to emulate the work of the world's best sculptors. Claywork is both a relaxing and stimulating hobbyand it is a great deal of fun. It is inexpensive and re quires little working space. Even if you have no very special skill you can get pleasing results from a lump of clay, but as you get caught up in the author's infectious enthusiasm you will find that you have more talent than you imagined.
