Review:

Hand-Formed Ceramics: Creating Form And Surface presents potters with a global survey of various artists' techniques for creating sculpture, vessels, and wall pieces. Richard Zakin combines his expertise with that of artists from around the world to give potters insight into working with clay, the basics of the hand-forming process, and creating surface imagery. Advantages and disadvantages of forming methods are discussed, with instructions for pinch forming, coil forming, slab forming, drape forming, and solid forming -- plus tips on combining forming methods. Processes for texturing pieces by stamping, engraving, carving, and combing surfaces are also explored. Three hundred b/w photos and sixteen pages of color illustrations visualize these methods. Hand-Formed Ceramics would be a valuable and appreciated addition school art department or community library pottery reference collection. -- Midwest Book Review
