About this title

Synopsis

This guide to all the major pottery techniques contains practical advice on how to put them into action. It provides guidance on selecting and using materials and equipment, step-by-step illustrations and examples of finished work.

Reviews

This is a good practical reference book for the studio potter. It has two parts: Techniques, arranged alphabetically, and Themes, consisting of descriptions of forms and surface treatment. The book is illustrated throughout with excellent color photographs that do a good job of explaining the subject material and show work in progress as well as finished pieces. Unlike those pottery technique books that take the user step-by-step through a few processes at great length, this is designed as a quick reference for the beginner or experienced potter who wants to get started in an unfamiliar area. The museum quality examples in the illustrations make it an attractive browsing book as well. Highly recommended for crafts collections.
