Product Description
Product Description
This accessible book provides a sound practical knowledge of the main ceramic methods, ideal for both the novice and the practicing potter wanting to extend their technique. Following an introduction on choosing and preparing clay and setting up a workshop, the first section gives advice on inspiration and design. Comprehensive technique chapters follow on hand-building, making and using moulds, throwing, glazing and decoration, and kilns and firing. Over 25 step-by-step projects are brought to life with finished examples of contemporary work. These include a printed plate, a porcelain bowl and an undulating vase.

Format:Paperback
This book was really easy to understand, especially for someone starting out in pottery like me. It explained all the terms I didn't understand and gave a great ovrview of the whole subject of pottery. I particularly liked the projects. I also think that this would be a good book for more experienced potters to refer to for new ideas and to keep them inspired!

Format:Paperback
An amazing low price for a book of such fine quality. Suitable for both beginner and intermediate levels. Profusely illustrated, compact, full of useful information, clear and well written, practical, helpful, easily understandable. Almost every aspect of pottery covered in text and photos. Pity there is no photo of Josie herself... would be nice to see her own bodily form as well as those of her pots. She teaches pottery in London and includes some pots and projects of her students... which gives a sympathetic inclusive feel to the book. Recommended.
Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent reference book - the techniques and projects are clear to follow - a book which will be constantly dipped into for ideas and advice.
I bought from A1 books, delivery was good and the book in immaculate condition.
