'A book offering plenty of information and inspiration for those wishing to begin experimenting with colour..' The Kent Potters Newletter Nov/Dec 2007
Product Description
This is a handbook on how to introduce colour into clay, and various methods of working with coloured clay. It briefly covers natural colour found in clays and how to use this to best advantage. It thoroughly looks at colouring your own clay through adding stains and oxides, and the various methods of preparing clay and slips, as well as how to blend properly and repeat results consistently. It looks at a range of making techniques using coloured clays (with specific ceramic artists as examples), including coiling and pinching with colours, marbling and agate, using moulds to create neriage or millefiori, textural effects, inlaying, sprigging and slipcasting. Each technique shows how various artists put it to use, with step by step sequences where needed, and displays finished pieces for further inspiration.

This is an inspiring little book - some good ideas on the design front and an array of technical tips for the use of oxides in clay preparation.A great addition to the library of any potter wanting to take the process in a new direction.

Before reading this book I had a workshop on coloured clay at my university and I instantly thought 'no that is not for me' as it seemed so flat and dull... however after reading this book by Jo Connell I have been turned on my head! I cannot wait to get back into the studio and have a go at some of the techniques which have been so well explained and demonstrated. If only she was my uni lecturer ....

Apart from the fact that this book arrived with crumpled right hand top corners throughout the book,which are permanent, I find less about how to make coloured clays and much about its application and history, which is not why I bought it and carried it out to the West Indies! I was hoping to be able to return with sufficient skills and confidence to make my own, but, frankly, I still don't have a clue.
A more practical book with less on the esoteric side would have been more helpful and was what I was looking for.

Yet another fantastic book from Jo Connell. Good technique descriptions and more importantly inspiring pictures. A must for the potters library.
