Not enough Technique, 2 Oct 2006
By Grace Davies - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ceramics for Gardens & Landscapes (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this book. There is some lovely work illustrated and the biographies of the artists doing the work are comprehensive, but as a newcomer to doing work for outdoor installations I would have preferred more "how-to" information. For instance, there is no chapter on how to deal with the freeze-thaw cycle; you can glean some information from many of the artists about the techniques they use, but it is not organized as a comprehensive topic. The information about the mechanics for making a fountain is sketchy at best--basically, it's determined to be hard to do and must be figured out on a trial-and-error basis.

Pretty Good Introduction, 20 July 2003
By "em_in_motion" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ceramics for Gardens & Landscapes (Paperback)
Offers an excellent visual guide to outdoor and garden ceramics and a nice insight into the minds behind these strange and beautiful things. If you're looking for an inspirational book, this works. If you're like me and are always looking for more tips and demos, you'll find it's a little on the thin side.

Art history plus technique, 7 Oct 2005
By LMG - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ceramics for Gardens & Landscapes (Paperback)
A bit heavy on biographical sketches for my taste, but the bios will be of interest to students of art history. Most bios are followed by a section on "Techniques" containing very useful details, but since the book is organized by ceramists, there is no quick way to find the technical info you are looking for. Well-written and good for casually browsing.
